We take a look at how our boys out on loan are getting on.
Matty Connelly made his first-team debut at Fir Park before joining Airdrie on loan for the season.
He made his debut in the Diamonds’ 2-0 defeat to Dunfermline, where the young keeper played the full 90 minutes. He also started and played the full game against Queen’s Park and Arbroath.
Full-back Scott Williamson joined Cowdenbeath on loan for the season, as the club formed a new partnership with the Lowland League side.
He made his debut in a 5-1 defeat to Linlithgow Rose, coming on for the last 20 minutes off the bench. That short stint on the pitch earned him a start in his second match against Caledonian Braves, where his side won 2-1.
Williamson got his first assist in Cowdenbeath colours in his most recent outing against Tranent. The defender played the full 90 minutes in the 1-1 draw.
Ewan Wilson joined Raith Rovers on loan until January at the end of August. The full-back was an unused substitute for Raith’s draw with Partick Thistle last Saturday.
Motherwell and Stenhousemuir entered into a Cooperation Agreement also, which saw Olly Whyte head to Ochilview on loan.
Playing in the Lowland League last season with Cowdenbeath, Whyte has now made the step up to League One action, and has made an impressive start to proceedings.
Whyte made his debut in a 1-0 win over Cove Rangers in August, starting and playing 60 minutes. Stenhousemuir have played four games since, winning two and drawing two. Whyte has started every match so far.
Nathan Lawson is also on loan at Cowdenbeath. The forward made his debut against Clydebank, coming on with less than 10 minutes to play. He was a substitute in his second match against Broxburn.
After those to substitute appearances, he earned his first start against Linlithgow Rose, and played 55 minutes before coming off.
In the most recent game against Cumbernauld, he played the final 19 minutes.

Motherwell B’s opponents for the league phase of the KDM Evolution Trophy have now been confirmed.
In the brand new format, the young team will face off against six different opponents in the league phase of the revamped competition.
Ticket details and dates have all still to be confirmed, but all matches will take place away from home.
The league phase will kick off on the midweek of August 12/13 and conclude on Tuesday November 11. All matches below are listed in order.
Seven of our very own academy players have signed their first professional contracts.
Right-back Aiden Tearney comes in full-time, alongside central defenders Jack Dalziel and Aaron Thomson. Both Dalziel and Thomson are regulars for Scotland’s Under 16 side.
Winger Lucas Weir, a Scotland Under 16 international, will also make the step up, with fellow winger Robbie Hunter also joining the ranks.
Central midfielders Blane Watson and Aaron Buchanan has also signed professional terms.
Alongside the above seven, we have three further players who have signed amateur contracts as they continue their development at the club.
Strikers Evan Samuel and Olivier Wieczorek fall into this category, as does Kali Fraser-Traljic.
“This is always an exciting time for the players and staff at the club,” academy director David Clarkson said.
“We have seen the progression of players like Lennon Miller, Ewan Wilson, Dylan Wells, Olly Whyte and Luca Ross. They have come through the academy setup and have transitioned to life as a first-team player.
“This is the blueprint for Motherwell. With this young group of players, we feel we have an exciting group with lots of potential. But this is a step up for them. Coming into a first-team environment means you have to be willing to put in the work to go to the next level.
“All have showed great character and are keen to make that step. The staff here will work closely with them as we all strive to improve.”
Our Development Side have three friendly games lined up ahead of their 2025/26 season.
They kick off their pre-season schedule with a match against Bellshill Athletic on Saturday 5 July at Rockburn Park, before taking on Banks o’Dee on Saturday 12 July away.
Before the match against Bellshill, there will be a 7s tournament being held by the East Stand Motherwell group in support of Men’s Mental Health charities. This is due to start at 10am and ends around 1.30pm, with Bellshill game kicking off at 3pm.
Kilmarnock is next on Friday 18 July, which is due to be held at Dalziel Park.

Richard Foster has been at the helm of our Under 18s squad this season, guiding them to the top of the bottom half of the league.
Now with the season at an end, he reflects on what he has taken for his own learning purposes this season and gives us insight into who could be the stars of tomorrow.
With the mic on Foster for a match against Hearts, we also see how he coaches the team during a match.
The final look at how our players got on out on loan during the 2024/25 season.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
