Neil Alexander is our new head of goalkeeping.
The 44-year-old had a 26-year playing career where he made 465 club appearances for the likes of Cardiff, Ipswich, Rangers and Crystal Palace.
A former Scotland international, Alexander joins up with Steven Hammell’s backroom staff and fills the position vacated by Andy Dibble last month.
“I’m really happy to be joining Motherwell,” Alexander said.
“It’s a great club and it is an exciting time to be working here with Steven and the rest of the coaching staff.
Alexander was most recently goalkeeping coach at Dunfermline after starting last season with Dundee United.
“The goalkeeping position is critical to our success” manager Steven Hammell added.
“Liam Kelly is doing very well but we always want to try and improve the players. Our goalkeeper is not just a shot stopper and goal kick taker, they play a huge part in our style.
“We rate Liam really highly and our expectations on goalkeepers are now massive. We have a tight group of staff who I trust, but more importantly, are highly skilled, motivated and hungry to improve players.
“Neil adds value and experience to our current coaching staff and I am looking forward to working with him going forward.”
