    Lukas Fadinger is a Steelman

    Lukas Fadinger has joined the club on a two-year deal.

    The 24-year-old midfielder joins after a two-year stint with Austrian Bundesliga side Rheindorf Altach, where he made 61 appearances and scored four goals.

    Fadinger came through the ranks at Sturm Graz, where he made his first-team debut at just 17.

    A prominent feature in the Graz II team, Fadinger was loaned out to SV Lafnitz in the second tier of Austrian football in 2019, where he made 66 appearances across three seasons.

    He moved to Hartberg in 2022, where he made 30 appearances in the Austrian top-flight in his sole season with the club.

    “I am so happy to be at this club,” Lukas Fadinger said.

    “We’ve been holding talks for a couple of months now, and to now finally say I’m a Motherwell player makes me very happy.

    “This move excites me, and it’s a big step forward in my career. I’m already looking forward to the start of the new season and meeting all the fans.”

    Michael Wimmer joins SSV Jahn Regensburg

    Michael Wimmer joins SSV Jahn Regensburg

    We can confirm that Michael Wimmer has departed the club to become manager of German side SSV Jahn Regensburg.

    After the final match of the 2024/25 season, Wimmer travelled back home to Germany. He reached out to the Chairman and Chief Executive of the club to inform them that he would like to remain in Germany to take up a position as manager of 3. Liga side SSV Jahn Regensburg.

    Wimmer explained the reasons for wishing to accept the new role were predominantly due to major family issues that have recently arisen in Germany.

    Following extensive conversations with Michael, the club very reluctantly negotiated a compensation package with SSV Jahn Regensburg.

    “I want to thank the Board and all the staff at the club for the way they welcomed me to Scotland and also supported me so much from when I arrived in February,” Michael Wimmer said.

    “They have done everything to support me and my family during my time here.

    “This has been an ongoing, extremely difficult position that I have found myself in, and the club have done all they could to support me during these challenging times, both whilst I was in post and while I have been back in Germany.

    “I am sorry to all the Motherwell fans; the support you have shown me has been outstanding, and I have loved learning about this wonderful club. This decision was an extremely hard one for me to make; however, I have decided to move back home, as I need to put my family first and be with them, and I want to thank the board for the understanding shown through these challenging times.

    “I hope the club can continue to progress next season. I really enjoyed the time I spent in Scotland. There are great people at the club who are ambitious and want the best for the club going forward. I only wish everyone at Motherwell FC the very best for the future.”

    The Club wishes Michael and his family the best going forward.

    The Club will now start the process of recruiting a new manager with immediate effect.

    The Club will be making no further comment at this time.

    Final loan report 2024/25

    Final loan report 2024/25

    The final look at how our players got on out on loan during the 2024/25 season.

    Matty Connelly

    East Kilbride completed their biggest target last weekend, securing promotion to League Two at the expense of Bonnyrigg Rose via the playoffs.

    Winning the Lowland League, the South Challenge Cup and the Lowland League Cup, alongside promotion, it has been a successful loan stint with Kilby this season for the goalkeeper.

    • Appearances: 35
    • Clean Sheets: 9
    Max Ross

    Max Ross will be pleased with his efforts at Albion Rovers this season. The 19-year-old defender helped Rovers finish in sixth place in the Lowland League.

    • Appearances: 23
    • Goals: 0
    • Assists: 0
    Brannan McDermott

    Broomhill and Brannan McDermott finished bottom of the Lowland League on goal difference and have been relegated.

    In the 34 league matches, McDermott started in all 34 matches and played 90 minutes in 33.

    • Appearances: 25
    • Goals: 1
    • Assists: 1
    Olly Whyte

    Olly Whyte had a successful season with Cowdenbeath in the Lowland League. The youngster received the Player of the Year, Players’ Player of the Year, Supporters’ Player of the Year and The Coo Shed Podcast Player of the Year awards.

    Finishing tenth in the standings, Whyte missed eight games through injury but will be delighted with his efforts at Central Park.

    • Appearances: 31
    • Goals: 3
    • Assists: 0
    Dylan Wells

    After signing a new deal at Motherwell in the summer of 2024, Wells joined Edinburgh City on a season-long loan deal.

    Playing 17 games and starting 12, Wells helped the Citizens achieve a playoff spot, something that seemed impossible at the start of the campaign. Edinburgh finished third in League Two, and although beating East Fife 1-0 in the first leg of the semi-final, Dick Campbell’s side won over the two legs, ensuring City remain in League Two next season.

    • Appearances: 17
    • Goals: 1
    • Assists: 0
    Filip Stuparevic

    Filip Stuparevic joined Championship side Morton and helped them finish sixth in the table. Although they finished a few points outside the playoffs, they were well clear of the bottom end of the table.

    Stuparevic was on six goals when he picked up an ACL injury that brought an end to his loan spell at the club early in February. However, he still picked up Morton’s top goalscorer award and will be looking forward to getting back on the pitch later in 2025.

    • Appearances: 18
    • Goals: 6
    • Assists: 1
    Mark Ferrie

    Mark Ferrie’s Bonnyrigg Rose endured a tricky season in League Two and were defeated by East Kilbride in the playoffs, meaning they now drop out of the SPFL.

    Ferrie still managed 30 games for Rose, starting 16 matches.

    • Appearances: 30
    • Goals: 2
    • Assists: 0
    Luca Ross

    Luca Ross started 20 games for Annan Athletic, however their season also ended on a sombre note. Finishing ninth in League One, they beat Elgin City in the semi-final of the relegation playoff but were beaten over two legs by East Fife and dropped down to League Two.

    L. Ross played every minute of the four playoff matches, as well as starting 16 league matches during the 24/25 season. He signed a new deal with Motherwell earlier this year and will now look to kick on in pre-season.

    • Appearances: 31
    • Goals: 3
    • Assists: 1
