Barry Maguire made his professional debut for Motherwell towards the end of the 2017/18 season and immediately demonstrated his potential to be in contention at centre back for years to come.

Tall, composed on the ball and extremely two footed, the youngster has all the raw qualities that made him stand out at Under 20 level and look assured when appearing in the first team.

The conscientious Scot has a bright future ahead of him, and the mentality to grasp it with both hands.
