We’re delighted to announce David Turnbull has signed a one-year extension to his current contract.

The midfielder, one of the most exciting talents the country has produced in many years, has extended his stay until the summer of 2022.

The new deal comes shortly after he made his long-awaited comeback from knee surgery.

The 20-year-old returned ahead of schedule to get the last 20 minutes against St Mirren in his first match back, before also making an appearance from the bench against Heart of Midlothian at the weekend.

“As soon as I knew I was back, fit and ready to get some game time, I wanted to make sure my contract was sorted,” Turnbull said.

“I have been here a long time. I feel as if I owe the club and the supporters for the way I have been looked after and treated.

“I’ve missed most of this season, so this puts us back to pretty much where we were at this stage last year in terms of my deal, giving the club a little more protection as I was coming into the last year of my contract.

“All my focus now is on spending the next few weeks getting up to full fitness, get back to just playing and enjoying playing football for Motherwell.”

An academy graduate, Turnbull made a blistering start to his ‘Well career, scoring 15 league goals in just 30 appearances, helping him to sweep the board at the club’s own Player of the Year awards as well as net the Scottish Football Writers’ Young Player of the Year gong.

His form brought about attention from both sides of the border with club-record bids received from Celtic and Norwich City.

But he remained a Motherwell player after preventative surgery was required to repair an asymptomatic knee problem.

“The fact David has agreed to extend his deal says everything about him as a person and about his family,” manager Stephen Robinson.

“To have such a talented player available to us again and signing for an extended period is significant for the club.”

The fight for third continues with a crucial Friday night match against Aberdeen.

Kick-off in the Ladbrokes Premiership fixture is at 7.45pm.

Tale of the tape

It’s a straight fight for third spot as the two sides go head to head. Motherwell currently occupy the position, a point ahead of their rivals.

With eight games left, the two will play again after the split but there’s an opportunity either for the Steelmen to go four clear, or fall two points behind.

Head to head

Both sides have won on rival turf so far in the 2019/20 season.

Aberdeen were 3-0 winners at Fir Park back in mid-October, before a Liam Donnelly goal gave the Steelmen a deserved 1-0 victory at Pittodrie in late January.

Christopher Long’s early goal is cancelled out as Motherwell secure a top six place with a 1-1 draw at Hearts.

“We’re a little disappointed we didn’t get three points. We’re aren’t going to rest now. We want third spot.”

Stephen Robinson speaks as Motherwell secure a top six place with a 1-1 draw at Hearts.

Motherwell secured a top six finish with a draw at Hearts.

Christopher Long’s first half goal was a deserved reward for the visitors’ performance, but they were pegged back early in the second half with Conor Washington’s close-range strike.

Stephen Robinson stuck with the same starting team which won 4-1 against Ross County in midweek, looking to tighten the grip on third spot.

Both sides had early chances. Declan Gallagher saw a header from a corner go straight at Zlamal from a corner, while there was a heart in the mouth moment straight after.

As Gillespie came outside the box and dealt with a through ball well, his clearance fell at the feet of Clare on the halfway line. Getting the ball out of his feet, his 60-yard shot was perfectly on target and kept out only by the intervention of Campbell, who chested the ball down just short of the line and cleared.

That clearance came at a cost, however, as the midfielder was forced off with injury soon after. Barry Maguire took his place.

Motherwell’s goal would come almost straight after. Halkett’s ball forward was charged down by Long and he was immediately alive to pounce on the second ball.

Bursting away from 40 yards out, he eventually rounded the goalkeeper and found the bottom left corner of the net from a tight angle.

The chance to go two ahead should have arrived moments later. A unique four versus one counter attack from Motherwell saw the visitors queuing up for a chance at goal, with Polworth slipping Hylton in on the right side of the box.

As he went to pull the trigger, he was cleaned out by goalkeeper Zlamal with both feet. But referee Don Robertson ruled the forward fallen over of his own accord and gave a goal kick.

Within three minutes of the start of the second half, Hearts were level. Naismith got free on the left side of the box and fizzed the ball back across for Washington to steer home from close range.

Hearts’ tails were up as they tried to seize the chance to pull themselves off the bottom. But Motherwell stood defensively firm and grew back into the match to carve out a host of chances.

Hylton had the best of the lot with a spectacular half-volley scissor kick from outside the box which looked bound for the bottom corner of the net, only for Zlamal to get down and keep it out at the last second.
