During his Motherwell career he was very injury prone, he broke his arm at the start of the 2000/2001 season while on a pre-season tour of the Netherlands, he broke it again later in the season. It was no secret that he was an avid Hearts supporter but he chose Motherwell over his boyhood heroes and signed a new three year deal with Motherwell during the pre-season of 2001. Despite being a popular player at the club with fans and teamates alike he was frozen out when Eric Black arrived as manager. Alongside Andy Dow, both players were made to train with the reserves and youth players, Kevin would have a brief loan with Ayr United.
He was eventually released when the club went into administration at the end of the 2001/02 season with many employees and players losing their jobs.
Kevin eventually signed for Hearts but his move to Tynecastle was hampered by a back injury which limited his appearances, after a brief spell with St Mirren in 2003 he retired from senior football.
In 2012, Kevin released a book called ‘Life on the Line’, which details his fight against his gambling addiction and the turmoil this caused to his life.
