    Casper Sloth joins Motherwell

    Motherwell add Jermaine Hylton

    Motherwell add Jermaine Hylton

    Jermaine Hylton is the latest addition to the Motherwell squad for the 2019/20 season.

    The English winger signs from Solihull Moors on a two-year deal and follows Declan Gallagher, Liam Polworth, Jake Carroll and Casper Sloth in joining the ‘Well.

    A former youth player with Birmingham City, 26-year-old Hylton scored 15 goals in the National League with Solihull Moors last campaign.

    Hylton is quick, tricky and with an eye for goal. Over and above his goal haul from the wing, he also created a number of goals for the Moors.

    ”Jermaine helps us boost our forward options for next season,” manager Stephen Robinson said of his latest capture.

    ”He’s dynamic, sharp and knows where the net is too. He had an excellent time in a very good Solihull side and we hope he can replicate some of that form here.

    ”We’ve added five new faces and our priority remains adding more reinforcements at the top end of the park in terms of strikers and wingers.”

    Hylton played his first top team minutes at Redditch United in 2012, netting 41 goals and getting 20 assists across two seasons, before being picked up by League One side Swindon Town.

    Playing 45 times for the Robins, he switched to Solihull Moors in 2017. After overcoming injury, his stock started to rise in the National League, bringing him to the attention of the Steelmen as he played a key part in his team finishing second in the division ahead of Salford City.

    “It’s exciting for me to take the next step in my career with Motherwell,” Hylton said on joining the club.

    “I’ve learned a lot already about what it’s like to play in Scotland and the different challenges it will present.

    “I hope I can bring something different to the team in the new season and help the club make an impact in the league and cups.”

    Fixture dates and venues will be announced shortly. Motherwell will play two games at home, and two away.

    Five potential matchdays are available on 13/14 July, 16/17 July, 20/21 July, 23/24 July and 27/28 July.

    Progression to the quarter-finals followed after defeating Livingston, before the run was ended in a tight game at Hearts.

    What if we can bring through even more young talent?

    Youth.

    It’s one of the fundamental principles our club is built upon. Bringing through talented players and giving them a chance at making careers for themselves in the game.

    So what if 2019/20 is the year that yet more young talent breaks through to become first team regulars?

    A constant line of youth academy products have found their way into the starting lineup in the last few years, establishing themselves as top flight players.

    David Turnbull, Allan Campbell and Chris Cadden are among the first names on the team sheet already. Barry Maguire and James Scott are tipped to have big seasons ahead of them, and there’s more developing under the watch of Maurice Ross, Steven Hammell and David Clarkson in our reserve and academy teams.

    Our club relies on bringing through players, developing them and giving them games at Premiership level. Our current crop have also been recognised for their talent at international level, from youth level through to the Under 21s and the senior squad.

    Our academy works to develop the next generation every single day. Based at Braidhurst High School, we have youngsters who can see the clear path that lies in front of them for opportunities in the first team.

    At Reserve level, we give room for talented players to get further experience mixed in with first teamers, giving them the chance to develop and get even closer to Stephen Robinson’s thoughts.

    We are committed to those in the top team already being joined by more as time progresses. Your patience and support with young talent is great to see, and it sets our club apart to have an identity that we can be the place to give opportunities at our highest level.

    Casper Sloth joins Motherwell

    Casper Sloth joins Motherwell

    Casper Sloth is the latest addition to the Motherwell squad for the forthcoming 2019/20 campaign.

    The Danish international central midfielder will move to Fir Park on a two-year deal, when his contract at Silkeborg comes to an end in late June.

    The 27-year-old has eight caps for his country and has made almost 200 appearances at club level.

    “Casper has undoubted technical ability and arrives at the club with an impressive CV,” manager Stephen Robinson said of his fourth summer signing.

    “He was at one point considered one of the real emerging talents in Danish football, but perhaps will have been frustrated with how his career has gone over the last few years.

    “We want to give him the platform and help him recapture his best form. Motherwell is a club which prides itself on getting people back on the right path, and that’s very much our aim with Casper.

    “He has been over to train with us and impressed us not only with his ability on the park, but his desire, his hunger to be here and with a bit of a point to prove.

    “He’s a very talented, technical footballer and I look forward to working with him, making him even better and watching him shine again.

    ”We are continuing to work on transfer targets. Our priorities now lie in bringing in forwards.”

    Sloth joins Liam Polworth, Declan Gallagher and Jake Carroll in committing to join Motherwell for the new season.

    “I am very happy to be coming to play for Motherwell,” said the player on signing on at the club.

    “I have heard a lot about the club and Scottish football. It is the perfect place for me to come to play.

    “My immediate focus will be on establishing myself in the team and bringing my experience to help the club push higher.”

    He played youth football at local side Brabrand IF but started his professional career at AGF Aarhus. He made his debut in the Danish Superliga aged just 17 and was hailed as one of the country’s brightest prospects.

    It was around that time he also made his senior international debut for the Danes, starting against Turkey in Istanbul in November 2012. Casper would go on to make a further seven appearances for De rød-hvide, including an impressive showing against England at Wembley in March 2014.

    After five years and over 150 games with Aarhus, he won a big money moved to English Championship side Leeds United in April 2013, making his league debut against Bolton shortly after.

    He would only turn out 14 times for the Whites in a two-year period where the club had six different managers. In July 2016, an undisclosed fee would take him back to his homeland and Aalborg BK.

    He spent a year at AaB before moving to his current club, Silkeborg, where he has played for the last two seasons.
