Motherwell Football Club are delighted to confirm David Turnbull has signed a new two-and-a-half year contract at the club.

The 19-year-old midfielder has been a revelation since winning his place in the first team, scoring five times in 13 starts in claret and amber this term.

The Scottish youth international had four months left on his previous deal, but has now extended that until the summer of 2021.

“We’re delighted David has agreed to extend his contract,” manager Stephen Robinson said.

“It’s to his credit that he has rejected the possibility of a more to a bigger or so-called more lucrative club in favour of continuing his development here, playing first team football,”

“He’s made a brilliant start to his Motherwell career, but he also knows that he can get even better if he continues to work hard and continues to learn.

“He’s joined other academy graduates such as Allan Campbell, Chris Cadden and Jake Hastie who are now imposing themselves on the first team.

“The positive news for the club is that we have others hot on their heels with the likes of Barry Maguire, Adam Livingstone, James Scott and more close to making their own impact.”

A Motherwell fan who joined the club at the age of nine, Turnbull says it was the natural choice to stay at Fir Park.

“I am really pleased to get this deal over the line and to have my immediate future sorted,” he said.

“I can kick on now, keep getting games under my belt, keep trying to do what I’m doing and hopefully it could be the start of something.

“I think I’ve made a decent start, but I know I’ve got a lot to learn and the place for me to do that is at Motherwell.”

Motherwell host Livingston on Saturday, looking to build on three back-to-back Ladbrokes Premiership wins.

Stephen Robinson’s men have defeated Hamilton, Hibernian and Dundee and take on the Lions looking to pull level with them on points.

Dundee stood in the way of a third consecutive league victory.

This is the Story of the Match from the trip to Dens Park.

David Turnbull netted again as a resilient Motherwell made it three Ladbrokes Premiership wins from three, defeating Dundee 1-0 at Dens Park.

Goal scorer David Turnbull, Allan Campbell and Alex Rodriguez Gorrín spoke after Motherwell made it three league wins from three in a 1-0 victory against Dundee.

“The manager asked us if we could follow up from the game on Wednesday night, and we did,” Rodríguez-Gorrin said.

Stephen Robinson praised his players after they picked up a third consecutive league win – defeating Dundee 1-0 at Dens Park.

The ‘Well boss highlighted his sides’ desire and attitude to bounce back after Scottish Cup disappointment, and wants to see them maintain their consistency.

“In terms of the response and character of the players, it’s been fantastic,” he said.

“We were organised and disciplined, and you can see our confidence building.

Motherwell made it three league wins in a row with a 1-0 win against Dundee at Dens Park.

David Turnbull’s second half penalty was the difference between the two sides, and increases the gap from 10th placed Hamilton to 13 points.

Stephen Robinson named the same eleven from Wednesday night’s win over Hibernian to take on the Dee, with three academy products starting the game in Allan Campbell, Jake Hastie and goalscorer Turnbull.

And, in truth, it was an afternoon in which the Steelmen had to dig in deep.

It was Dundee, forced in to an early change when Jesse Curran made way for Roarie Deacon, who looked the side likeliest to open the scoring.

Gary Woods went close just after the half hour mark, but should have made more of his chance from the edge of the box, which he could only slice wide of the mark.

On the stroke of half time, Jim McIntyre’s men should have taken the lead, but Andrew Nelson got his effort horribly wrong when one-on-one with Mark Gillespie and missed the target completely.

The second half started with Dundee continuing where they left off, and the home support sensing a goal was coming.

But it was the travelling Fir Parker’s who got off the mark, when substitute Elliott Frear was tripped in the box, giving Willie Collum no choice but to point to the spot.

Up stepped Turnbull, who made no mistake as he sent Dundee keeper Seny Dieng the wrong way.

Dundee looked to respond through the tricky Andrew Dales and Deacon on either flank, but the latter couldn’t take advantage of two big opportunities late on, and the Steelmen held strong for all three points.
