Sean Goss has joined Motherwell.

Having spent a short time training with the squad, the midfielder has agreed a two-year contract.

“Sean is a player I’ve been interested in for a while now, and I’m delighted to bring him in to strengthen our midfield options,” manager Graham Alexander said of his signing.

“I believe he has great untapped potential to be a top player with the ability he has, while we can help him improve the things he needs to.

“He also has previous experience of Scottish football and we look forward to working with him.”

Goss, 25, started his professional career at Manchester United, where he was a team-mate of current ‘Well favourite Liam Grimshaw.

Sold to Queen’s Park Rangers for £500,000 in 2017, he subsequently spent time on loan in Scottish football with Rangers and St Johnstone, before a switch to Shrewsbury Town in 2019.

It was there he made 54 appearances across two seasons in League One, scoring four times, before his contract expired in the summer.

Motherwell picked up their first win in the SWPL Cup against Boroughmuir Thistle on Wednesday.

Elsie Macara’s own goal opened the scoring for the ‘Well minutes into the first half, before Chelsie Watson doubled the score from the penalty spot.

Sammy Duncan would pull one back for the hosts from close range, but Motherwell restored their two-goal advantage after a second own goal from the visitors early into the second half, before Claire Crosbie settled the tie with a well-placed header.

Motherwell would take the lead after three minutes.

Captain Gill Inglis’ inswinging cross was misjudged by Boroughmuir’s Macara and her looping header sailed over her own goalkeeper into the net to give the hosts the early advantage.

With the opener secured, Paul Brownlie’s side grew in confidence and were unfortunate not to double their advantage minutes later.

Kodie Hay’s through ball sliced through the Thistle defence, giving Lori Gardner a clear strike on goal. But the uneven surface played its part and the chance petered away.

Motherwell would double their lead from the penalty spot on the 20 minute mark.

Watson calmly stepped up and slotted her strike past the keeper into the bottom-right corner to put the visitors in control of the tie.

Boroughmuir would pull one back against the run of play minutes later.

Elvie Mclean’s low driven cross found Sammy Duncan yards from goal and the midfielder coolly placed her strike past Ramsey in the Motherwell net.

With the second half underway, the ‘Well continued to pile on the pressure in search of a vital third goal, and would restore their two-goal cushion on the hour mark.

Gardner’s whipped in cross was aimed at McDonald-Nguah, but was nodded home by the Boroughmuir defender.

Motherwell would wrap up the tie in the dying stages of the game from a well-worked free kick.

Hay’s cross was superbly met by Crosbie, who placed her header past Moodie to give Motherwell all three points and a 4-1 victory.

Motherwell will look to carry their form into their final SWPL group game with Queen’s Park on Sunday, before facing Champions Glasgow City in the opening league encounter later this month.

Tale of the Tape

Motherwell are unbeaten in both matches against Boroughmuir Thistle.

The most recent encounter between the two sides came back in 2016.

Motherwell ran out comfortable 6-0 winners in the Championship, after they beat Boroughmuir 4-3 in the fixture earlier in the season.

Form Guide

After their 1-0 defeat on Sunday to Aberdeen, Motherwell go into this match knowing they can’t qualify from the group for the next round of the SWPL Cup.

The women of steel can still finish third however as they look for their first competitive win of the season.

Boroughmuir come into the game off the back of a 3-0 defeat to Queen’s Park on Sunday as they are also looking for their first points of the group stages.

Motherwell lost their second SWPL Cup group match against Aberdeen on Sunday.

Bayley Hutchison’s goal in the 20th minute was enough to secure all three points for the Dons.

Motherwell had the best chance of the opening period. Having won a free kick on the edge of the box, Chelsie Watson stepped up. However her effort went just wide.

Aberdeen then took the lead. Motherwell goalkeeper Khym Ramsay was closed down by Hutchison, who blocked the goalkeeper’s clearance and finished to make it 1-0 to the hosts.

Motherwell looked to bounce back straight away. Kaela McDonald-Nguah picked the ball up on the left wing and cut inside, only for her curling effort to come off the crossbar.

The ’Well continued to pile on the pressure. Claire Crosbie’s header at the back post went across the face of goal and was cleared, just before McDonald-Nguah was set to tap in from close range.

Crosbie caused the Aberdeen defence more problems just before half-time when her header was cleared off the line.

In the second half, Motherwell had most of the possession.

The biggest chance of the second half fell to captain Gill Inglis. Her strike inside the box was set to hit the back of the net but it was blocked by the Aberdeen defence.

Motherwell will look to bounce back on Wednesday night when they host Boroughmuir Thistle in their third group match in the SWPL Cup.

“We’ve proved to ourselves we can win difficult games. Now we have to build on today.”

Graham Alexander reacts as Motherwell come from behind to win 2-1 in West Lothian.

Liam Grimshaw netted a memorable first Motherwell goal as the Steelmen came from behind to win at Livingston.

The popular player starred in midfield and followed in Tony Watt’s saved shot to complete the comeback.

Watt himself had levelled the score early in the second half, after Alan Forrest’s first-half opener for the Lions.

Motherwell changed four from the team which started the Premier Sports Cup loss to Dundee.

Bevis Mugabi, Mark O’Hara, Justin Amaluzor and Watt came into the team. Barry Maguire and Liam Donnelly missed out with injury, with Stevie Lawless and Connor Shields dropping to the bench.

Motherwell almost had the dream start four minutes in.

A deep cross to the back post was headed back across by Amaluzor to Woolery. Crowded out at close range, he swung a boot and made a connection but saw his certain goal denied.

Obileye saw a goal disallowed for the hosts  but Motherwell were the team in the ascendancy in the opening stages, with Amaluzor causing plenty trouble down the right.

Watt felt he should have had a penalty in the 23rd minute when, surging into the area, he collided with his opponent but nothing was given by referee Napier.

Woolery went close again with a snapshot in the area which hit the bodies in the way,

Livingston though grew into things as the half wore on and made the breakthrough with 10 minutes left.

Moving the ball around on the edge of the area, Forrest managed to engineer space for himself 20 yards out and placed his shot perfectly into the bottom-right corner of the net.

Motherwell came flying out the blocks in the second half and were ahead within two minutes.

A short corner on the right saw O’Hara deliver into the area.

Ojala got up to nod the ball on to Watt, who headed home from close range off the left-hand post.

‘Well started to find their rhythm again, with Watt constantly dropping deep to cause trouble as they went in search of the lead.

Woolery had a golden chance just after the hour mark. Slipped in by the brilliant Grimshaw down the left, his placed shot back across goal was gathered by the goalkeeper.

The game started to open up. Forrest and Anderson were both denied late on the counter for the hosts, but it would be Motherwell who would get the next.

Watt did brilliantly to engineer space on the edge of the box and his low shot was parried out by the home goalkeeper.

Alive to the shot, Grimshaw raced in and stabbed home from close range to net his first in Motherwell colours.

He would then come to the rescue late on, denying Anderson from close range as he pulled the trigger, as the Steelmen held on for their first three points of the league season.
