"Lewis returns to Rugby Park on a three-year contract, having impressed on loan during the 2022/23 campaign.
"The 23-year-old established himself as a key part of the defence in his first year in top-flight football, making 42 appearances during a season which saw Killie secure Premiership survival and return to Hampden Park.
"The former Scotland Under-21 international will be available for this weekend’s Viaplay League Cup clash against Dunfermline Athletic, pending SFA approval."
