Liverpool's Liam Millar returns from Kilmarnock as loan is cut short
- Published
Liam Millar scored once for Kilmarnock this season - against Hibernian in September
Liverpool forward Liam Millar has had his loan deal with Kilmarnock cut short by six months.
The 20-year-old scored once in 22 appearances during his second spell with the Scottish Premiership club.
He was scheduled to remain at Rugby Park until the summer, but Liverpool have announced that the clubs agreed to end the loan and he has been recalled.
Millar had joined Kilmarnock in January 2019 after signing an unspecified long-term contract with Liverpool.
He scored once in 14 games during his first spell and, although only two of those were starts under Steve Clarke, he returned to make 14 under predecessor Angelo Alessio, then current manager Alex Dyer.
However, this will be the first transfer window Dyer will have had in charge as he looks to end a run of five defeats for his seventh-placed side after the winter break.
With 16 goals, Kilmarnock have found the net least often in the Premiership this season along with St Johnstone.
Meanwhile, left-back Calum Waters has signed a new contract with Kilmarnock until 2021 but will remain on loan with Premiership rivals St Mirren until the end of the season.
The 23-year-old has made 18 appearances for the Paisley side so far this campaign.
