Three more of our squad have committed for the 2021/22 SWPL1 season.

Abby Callaghan, Chelsie Watson and Lauren Doran-Barr will wear claret and amber again in the new campaign.

Abby Callaghan

After having a successful season last year, Abby Callaghan has earned her place in the side for the new season.

Staying for her third term in claret and amber, the midfielder will look to help her team push up the table this season.

“I’m delighted to be signing on for another year at Motherwell,” she said.

“I’ve worked with Paul previously and know what he’s capable of achieving within the club. I can’t wait to get started.”

Chelsie Watson

Chelsie Watson has also committed to Motherwell for another season.

The towering centre half was one of the first names on the teamsheet last time out and is looking to push on this year.

“I’m looking forward to another season at Motherwell,” Chelsie said.

“The first few weeks with Paul and his new coaching staff have been fantastic as they have really freshened things up. They will bring a lot of experience and new ideas to the squad this year.

“Individually and collectively we have been working really hard and are fully focused on the new season.”

Lauren Doran-Barr

Injured for most of last season, Lauren Doran-Barr has almost completed her recovery from injury and is ready to play a big part for Motherwell this season.

The former Rangers full-back has decided to stay for another season.

“It’s an exciting time to be a Motherwell player so I’m delighted to resign for the upcoming season,” Doran-Barr added.

“I’m looking forward to getting back from injury and continuing my development under the new coaching staff.”

The return to Fir Park comes on Saturday, with Queen of the South the visitors.

“We came here to win and we did.

“But we know there’s room for improvement and there’s work to do.”

Motherwell started the season with a clinical 1-0 victory over Queen’s Park in the Premier Sports Cup group stage.

Steven Lawless’ goal in the first half was the difference against the League One side, who caused trouble but were wasteful when faced with Liam Kelly.

Youth graduate Dean Cornelius was given his first start, with Darragh O’Connor and Kaiyne Woolery also making their debuts in the first XI.

But on the 14th minute mark, Motherwell took the chance when it arrived for them.

A loose ball on the edge of the box saw Maguire react quick to drive in, skip inside and fire a ferocious effort at goal, which was parried away.

Maguire recovered the situation and backheeled to Watt, whose pass inside found the waiting Lawless.

Under pressure, he showed all the composure needed to turn his man and fire into the bottom-right corner of the net from 12 yards.

Undeterred, the hosts ploughed on and Simon Murray carved out a whole host of chances for his team which he failed to take, while Kelly had to react fast to chest away a Robson drive from distance.

The League One side ended the first half perhaps aggrieved they weren’t at least level, having broke into the Motherwell box plentiful times but proving wasteful in front of goal.

The Spiders would again look the more likely in the early exchanges of the second half.

Kelly again was at the rescue 10 minutes in. Brown’s surging run through the middle against a retreating defence saw him slip in Murray on the left.

One-on-one with the goalkeeper from 15 yards, he picked his spot but Kelly reacted brilliantly to get down low and stop the equaliser.

There was a welcome return in midfield from Liam Donnelly after almost a year out injured, while Kevin van Veen also got late minutes to make his first appearance in claret and amber.

Motherwell would threaten as the game wore on, with Maguire and Watt both seeing shots saved, while the hosts’ danger subsided near the end as Graham Alexander’s men returned to Fir Park with all three points.

The first episode of Inside Motherwell for the 2021/22 season is here.

The return to pre-season training can be a gruelling one for the players, even if the actual break is shortening in length.

Mark O’Hara made sure he kept himself in good shape over the summer, although even he found the going tough in the first day “yo-yo” running test.

A new season needs a new kit. Step forward defender Ricki Lamie to model our new away strip for the campaign.

We caught up with the defender behind the scenes on the shoot to find out how his return to action was going, and find out if he has an second career in modelling ahead.

Stephen O’Donnell didn’t return at the same time as the rest of the squad for pre-season training. And rightly so, with the important defender involved with the Scotland national team at EURO 2020.

Criticised as part of the team’s loss to Czech Republic in the opening match, he answered all the critics with an outstanding performance against eventual finalists England, in which he almost netted a memorable and famous winner.

Darragh O’Connor is the latest addition to the Motherwell squad.

The Irish defender has signed an initial one-year deal, arriving after departing Leicester City. His move is pending international clearance.

“Darragh is a young centre-half who has been with us for the last couple of weeks,” manager Graham Alexander said.

“We really like what we’ve seen with his attitude and commitment to the game.

“He’s a young player with a lot of potential, but we also think he’s got the capability to break into our first team and compete with our more senior players.

“We’re delighted to have him on board.”

O’Connor made six appearances for the Foxes in the EFL Trophy over his two seasons with the club, as well as featuring 15 times in Premier League 2.

Born in London before moving back to his native Republic of Ireland at an early age, he also featured at youth level for Shamrock Rovers and in the Irish First Division with Wexford.

Motherwell have completed the signing of winger Nicole Cairney.

Returning for her second spell at the club, Cairney left the Steelmen for Lanarkshire rivals Hamilton in January 2020.

After helping Hamilton secure promotion to the top flight in the last campaign, the forward has rejoined the women of steel.

“Nicole will bring experience, good quality on the wing and can play across the three on the front,” head coach Paul Brownlie said.

“I’ve worked with Nicole for several years so I know what she can bring to this team.”
