Ex-Celtic striker snapped up by Motherwell in deadline-busting deal

Motherwell have signed ex-Celtic striker Jack Aitchison on a permanent deal for the rest of this season.

He will go into the squad for tomorrow's Premiership clash at home to St Johnstone if they get international clearance in time.

Aitchison, 22, who is Celtic's youngest ever goal-scorer aged 16 - ironically against Motherwell - has been on loan at Stevenage and Forest Green Rovers in recent seasons. He also spent time at Dumbarton and Alloa during his time at Celtic Park.

Boss Steven Hammell is pleased with the signing (SNS Group)

Boss Steven Hammell told the club website: "We needed another option in this area of the pitch.

"He is a young and enthusiastic player who offers a different dynamic to the team.

"Jack knows the area, is a local boy and knows the league very well. The fact he has been playing and even scored last week is a huge positive for us."
