Motherwell have confirmed the signing of defender Shane Blaney from Sligo Rovers on a two-and-a-half year contract.
The 23-year-old Irishman played a major role in the Steelmen's early exit from the UEFA Europa Conference this season when he netted a stunning free-kick in the second leg of Motherwell's qualifying round defeat.
His display across the two legs, which Motherwell lost 3-0 on aggregate, left a big impression and Fir Park boss Steven Hammell has swooped to prise him away from the League of Ireland Premier side.
