Description
Christopher John "Chris" Killen is a New Zealand international footballer who is currently a free agent without a club. Killen grew up in Wellington and played his club football for Miramar Rangers. After a trial with Manchester City, he joined City's youth academy. His first senior club appearances came during a loan spell at Wrexham in September 2000, and the following season he was loaned to Port Vale. Killen joined Oldham Athletic in July 2002 for �250,000, but failed to match his price tag because of persistent injury, and was eventually released on a free transfer.
In January 2006, Killen joined Hibernian, and scored 11 goals for "Hibs" in the early part of the 2006?07 season, but a ruptured achilles prematurely ended his season in January. Killen's contract with Hibernian expired in the summer of 2007, and he then signed for Celtic on a three-year contract, but found first team opportunities hard to come by, and was loaned to Norwich City during the 2008?09 season. Killen rejoined his former Celtic manager Gordon Strachan at Middlesbrough in January 2010. Seven months later he moved to China to play for Shenzhen Ruby. He switched clubs to Chongqing F.C. in February 2012.
