His resume includes stints with English clubs Rushden & Diamonds, Gillingham, Norwich City, Millwall, Coventry City, Barnsley, Blackburn Rovers, Walsall and Grimsby Town.

He also played for Eintracht Braunschweig in Germany.

Jackson, who scored six goals in 30 appearances last season for St. Mirren, joins fellow Canadian Liam Millar at Kilmarnock. Millar, also a forward, is on loan from Liverpool.

Kilmarnock, currently seventh in the Scottish Premier League with a 3-3-2 record, says Jackson will be available for selection for Saturday’s home match against Livingston.
