Christopher Long has signed a new deal with Motherwell.
The 25-year-old striker, who netted 11 goals in 31 games last season, returns to the club on a one-year contract.
“I’m buzzing to be back,” said Long.
“Finishing third last season and qualifying for Europe was huge. I want to pick up from where I left off.”
A product of Everton’s youth academy, Long made one appearance for the Toffees in the UEFA Europa League.
Having spent time on loan with MK Dons and Brentford, he then moved to Burnley and was part of their team who won promotion to the English Premier League in 2015/16.
Spells with Fleetwood Town, Bolton Wanderers, Northampton Town and Blackpool followed, before he headed north of the border last year.
His last goal for Motherwell came in the final match of 2019/20, with his strike in a 1-1 draw with Hearts securing a third-place finish.
“It’s great to have Christopher back,” said manager Stephen Robinson,
“He made a big impression last season and, once we get him up to speed again, we want to get even more from him this campaign.”.
