Motherwell have completed the signing of Conor Sammon on loan from Hearts.
The Republic of Ireland international striker has joined for the 2018/19 season, further bolstering the team’s forward options.
“I’m just looking forward to getting stuck in here, playing a lot of games, scoring a lot of goals, and just being a part of a successful season,” the 31-year-old said.
“I think the other strikers in the squad are similar. They’re physical, strong and quick, so I definitely think I can fit in here and I think my style of play will help me to have a good season here.
“And I’m looking forward to that, to training with the lads and to getting familiar with each other and how we play.”
Sammon spent last campaign on loan at Partick Thistle, weighing in with a goal every 207 minutes for Partick Thistle, netting 10 goals in total.
Compared for the scoring rates of former Motherwell forwards, that return puts him in the same bracket as John Sutton (one goal for Motherwell every 200 minutes), Lukas Jutkiewicz (one every 217 minutes) and Henri Anier (one every 218 minutes).
Sammon, who will wear shirt number 19, counts Kilmarnock, Wigan Athletic and Derby County amongst his former clubs.
“I’m delighted to have added Conor to our squad,” manager Stephen Robinson said of the acquisition.
“I’ve been keen to add another option in the striking department and he will fit our style of play perfectly.”
