Rory William McKenzie (born 7 October 1993) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Scottish Premiership club Kilmarnock.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Kilmarnock

[edit]

Born in Irvine, raised in Troon and a product of the youth system at Kilmarnock,[3] McKenzie made his senior debut for the club as a substitute in a 1–1 draw against Inverness CT on 9 April 2011.[4]

In the 2012–13 season, he came on as a sub in the first two fixtures. He then started his first game against Dundee Utd on 25 August 2012, where he scored a minute into the second half, as Killie went on to win 3–1.[5]

On 14 May 2013, McKenzie signed a new contract, keeping him at Kilmarnock until Summer 2016.[6] In the 2014–15 season, McKenzie scored the only goal in a 1–0 win over Ayr United in the Ayrshire Derby.[7]

He signed a further contract in summer 2016, and was the only one of several home-grown players to remain at the club after the squad was overhauled following an 11th-place finish in the Scottish Premiership which required them to defeat Falkirk to keep their place in the top division.[8]

Brechin City loan

[edit]

On 27 January 2012, McKenzie signed for Brechin City on loan until the end of the 2011–12 season.[9] He scored 7 goals in his stint at the club, including a double in a 2–2 draw with Cowdenbeath.[10]

International career

[edit]

McKenzie was selected for the Scotland under-19s, making his debut in May 2011.[11]

He is also eligible to play for the Trinidad and Tobago national football team through a grandmother.[12][13]
