in August 2009 but was let go by the club after three appearances in four months. He trialled at various English Football League
clubs during the 2010–11
pre-season but failed to win a contract, leading him to begin the season playing for amateur side Newton in the eleventh-tier West Cheshire League
. He transferred to ninth-level Formby
in October 2010 and only two months after that moved up another four levels when he signed for Southport
of the Conference National, having impressed the club's manager, Liam Watson
. Kissock performed well for Southport during the second half of 2010–11, and after playing four matches in the 2011–12
season signed for Luton Town on 26 August 2011.
, Liverpool
, Kissock played for youth side Key Ways from the age of six and joined the academy of Premier League club Everton
, his favourite team, a year later. At Key Ways he had played alongside Lee Molyneux
, who joined Kissock in Everton's youth system in 2000, and Charlie Barnett
, later an apprentice with Liverpool
. While studying at Archbishop Beck High School, Kissock was first picked for the England under-16 team
in November 2004, when he was aged 14, for a match against the under-16s' Scottish counterparts
. He played for England under-16s three more times during 2005 and in April that year was voted Liverpool Young Sports Personality of the Year.
Over the following year Kissock became a regular player for Everton's under-18 and reserve sides. In the process he broke Wayne Rooney
's record as the youngest ever player to play for Everton's reserve team and played for the England under-18 team
against France
in September 2006. He was called up to the first team for a UEFA Cup
game against AZ in December 2007 but failed to make the final match day squad. During the 2007–08 season he joined the first-team squad for twelve Premier League games, but did not play. In January 2008 he joined Scottish Premier League
club Gretna
on loan
until the end of the season, and it was for them that he made his professional debut in Gretna's 2–0 away defeat against Heart of Midlothian
on 9 February 2008. He finished the season with 11 league appearances.
After returning to Everton, he appeared on the substitutes' bench regularly during the first half of the 2008–09 season, and was once again sent on loan in January 2009, this time for a month-long spell at English League Two
club Accrington Stanley
, where he made five appearances. After his release from Everton at the end of the season, Kissock returned to Scotland on 14 August 2009, when he signed for Scottish Premier League club Hamilton Academical
. After only four months and three matches for Hamilton, he was released on 3 December 2009.
pre-season, Kissock had trials with League One
clubs Brighton & Hove Albion
and Milton Keynes Dons
but failed to win a contract with either. He started the season playing for Newton in the eleventh-tier West Cheshire League
, before swiftly moving up two divisions with a transfer to North West Counties League
club Formby
in October 2010. He immediately showed prowess, scoring in each of his first two games, one with a shot from inside his own half; these goals drew the attention of Liam Watson
, manager of Conference National
club Southport
, who brought Kissock to his club in December 2010. The new signing made his first appearance for Southport on 28 December in a match against Fleetwood Town
, and scored his first goal for the club in their 5–1 victory over Gateshead
on 3 January 2011, also winning the man-of-the-match award. In the words of Liverpool Echo
journalist Philip Kirkbride, Kissock was an "instant hit", performing well throughout the rest of the season while the team struggled while battling relegation
. Despite their improvement since the addition of Kissock, Southport ended the season in the relegation zone; however, they remained in the division as a result of Rushden & Diamonds
' explusion in June 2011 for financial reasons. Having finished 21st out of the 24 teams, in the highest of the four relegation spots, they were retained in Rushden's place.
Kissock started the 2011–12
season with four appearances for Southport and scored the team's first goal of the season in their first match of the season, against Lincoln City
on 13 August 2011. A week later he set up Jonathan Brown
for the opening goal in the team's 5–1 away loss against Luton Town
, and on 24 August he was called up to the England C team, a national squad made up of non-League
players. Two days later he joined Luton, signing a two-year contract. As well as paying an undisclosed transfer fee, his new team loaned two players to Southport as part of the deal, lending them midfielder Godfrey Poku and forward Dan Walker until January 2012. Kissock first appeared for his new club on 27 August as a substitute in a 3–1 win over Braintree Town
, and made his first start on 2 September in a 1–1 draw away against Stockport County
. He played well, especially in the latter, and received a strongly positive reception from Luton fans.
Having already scored against Lincoln for Southport on the opening day of the season, Kissock appeared against them for the second time in two months on 17 September when Luton were pitted against them at Kenilworth Road
. Kissock came off the bench after 67 minutes with the game goalless and was instrumental in Luton's eventual victory. With six minutes left to play, standing near the left-hand corner of the penalty area and the goal line, he received a short corner from Adam Watkins. Kissock twisted past a Lincoln defender, and turning quickly, ran towards the net along the byline; from a tight angle he crossed the ball low for forward Stuart Fleetwood
, who was waiting in the middle of the six-yard box. In the words of the official club match report, Fleetwood "couldn't miss" from such short range; he prodded the ball home to score the only goal of the game. Mark Wood's match report for The Luton News called Kissock's assist "a moment of magic"; "wonderfully inventive".
Kissock was called into the England C team once again in November 2011 and made his debut in a 3–1 loss to Gibraltar.
