FORMER Arsenal wonderkid Tyreece John-Jules has joined his ninth club at the age of 24 after five months as a free agent.
John-Jules signed a short-term deal with Kilmarnock, which ties him up to the club until January.
The striker left Crawley Town in June when his contract expired and couldn’t find another club during the summer transfer window.
However, the ex-England youth international could return to action on Sunday against Rangers at Ibrox.
Kilmarnock announced: “We are delighted to announce the signing of striker Tyreece John-Jules on a short-term deal, pending approval.
“John-Jules will be eligible for selection for our trip to Ibrox on Sunday.”

John-Jules spent 15 years at Arsenal after joining the academy at the age of eight before moving to the first team at 17 years old.
However, the centre-forward never managed to make a senior appearance during his five-year stint in Mikel Arteta‘s side.
He was previously highly-regarded by the club as well as manager Arteta.
John-Jules did make a total of 69 appearances for the Gunners’ Under-23s and Under-18 teams, scoring 36 goals along the way.
He was also part of the U-18s side that finished runners-up in the 2018 FA Youth Cup.
However, Arsenal opted to send the forward out on loan at Lincoln, Doncaster, Blackpool, Sheffield Wednesday, Ipswich and Derby.
And John-Jules ultimately left the Gunners last year for Crawley where he only managed a mere total of one assist in 27 appearances.
The player is also known as the nephew of actor Danny John-Jules, who is best known for playing Cat in the comedy show Red Dwarf.
