Style of Play
Kissock primarily plays as an attacking midfielder, though he has been known to play just behind the forward in the hole, acting as the offensive pivot to teams. Described by Kirkbride in April 2011 as Southport's "creative spark", club manager Liam Watson based his team's tactics around the Liverpudlian; the Southport Visiter wrote soon after Kissock's move to Luton that he had been "the creative force Southport looked to". Kissock's strengths lie in his technical ability, passing and proficiency with both feet. Kissock's footballing inspirations are Argentine players Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi, the latter of whom he is compared to by Luton supporters and pressmen due to his skilful play and similar appearance.
