Carswell agrees deal to 2014

Following hot on the heels of Henrik Ojamaa penning a long-term deal yesterday, the club are delighted to confirm another young star, Stuart Carswell, has himself agreed a new contract.

‘Well boss Stuart McCall is a huge admirer of the Bellshill-born youngster and has rewarded him with a deal that will keep him at Fir Park until the summer of 2014.

The midfielder has made thirteen appearances in Claret and Amber so far, three of them amongst the starting eleven.

And he hopes now, with some stability, he’ll go on and make a bigger impact in the first-team.

He said: “I am pleased things have been sorted out and I can concentrate on developing as a player here at Motherwell.

“Obviously there is a lot of talent in midfield at the moment but I will keep my head down, keep working hard and if the opportunity presents itself, then I will be ready to take it.”

Chief Executive Leeann Dempster added, “Everyone at the club has been delighted with the progress Stuart has made and we are extremely confident he will go on and make a big impact in the first-team.

“This is part of our on-going strategy to make sure we secure our young talent on longer term deals, protecting our assets whilst giving players the security to develop both personally and professionally.”
