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 for a first-team spot 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 and look assured when appearing in the first team, particularly in his new holding midfield role.

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