Motherwell boss Stuart Kettlewell admits Sturm Graz-bound defender Max Johnston is a "huge loss" and says the club will work hard to secure future star youngsters.
Johnston, 19, is believed to be close to signing for the Austrian giants, with Motherwell only receiving a a development fee. They won't receive add-ons or future transfer windfalls.
Johnston is one of several players moving on this summer after rejecting a new contract offer at Fir Park and Kettlewell is keen to ensure that other youngsters like Lennon Miller are tied down.
