Ricki Lamie says the early signs show Conor Wilkinson can be a hit for Motherwell – as he warned his new team-mate to warm-up his singing voice for his initiation on the long trip to Elgin City this weekend.
The 6ft 3’ striker penned a two-year deal at Fir Park last week as the Steelmen went some way to replacing talisman Kevin van Veen, who joined Dutch side FC Groningen for an undisclosed fee after netting 29 goals in claret and amber last season.
Motherwell fans will hope to get their first glimpse of the Englishman in competitive action on Saturday when Stuart Kettlewell’s side make the 380-mile, eight-hour round-trip to Borough Briggs for their Viaplay League Cup opener.
