Richard Foster has been appointed head of coaching.
Joining the club and starting immediately, Foster will oversee coaches within our academy at all youth levels.
Alongside this, he will be coaching our Under 16s team and will be involved at Under 18s level. With Stuart Kettlewell’s role of lead development coach vacant, since he became first-team manager, Foster will be coaching the Under 18s until a replacement has been appointed.
Foster began his career at Aberdeen where went on to make over 200 appearances for the Dons.
In his time, he turned out for Rangers, Ross County, St Johnstone, Bristol City and Partick Thistle while also being selected for Scotland duty in 2012.
He was assistant manager with USL Championship side Detroit City for the 2022 season before returning to Scotland earlier this month.
“This is a really exciting opportunity for me at the perfect time,” Foster said.
“Motherwell is renowned for developing young players that go on to have sustained careers within the game and they have some great, young talent coming through with excellent people working here.
“This all makes me feel very fortunate to be given this role and I’m looking forward to getting started.”
