    Robbie Mahon joins Dundalk

    Robbie Mahon has made the switch to Dundalk on a permanent basis. 

    The Irish winger joined the club in March 2022 and made on appearance in the first team.

    Having been out on loan in his time at Motherwell, to Dunfermline and Edinburgh City, the 20-year-old now departs back to Ireland.

    “Robbie has had a very successful personal loan spell with Edinburgh City in the first half of the season,” Stuart Kettlewell said.

    “He has aspirations to play back home in Ireland and we wanted to ensure that the right move was secured for club and player.

    “I wish Robbie the very best with his future career and thank him for his efforts.”

    The Irish youth international, a graduate of the Bohemians academy, leaves the club with our best wishes and thanks.

    All the best, Robbie.

    Theo Bair is your December player of the month

    Theo Bair is your December player of the month

    Theo Bair is your G4 Claims player of the month for December.

    In a month made up of six games, Theo Bair first major impact of December came against St Johnstone at Fir Park. Subbed on with only 10 minutes to go and his team a goal behind, Bair picked up the ball before a pinpoint cross found Mika Biereth to smash home and equalise right at the end of the match.

    Late substitute appearances came against St Mirren and Rangers before he was named in the starting lineup for our match against Livingston. Labelled at 12 pointer pre-match, Bair setup Blair Spittal for the opener before scoring two goals himself, all in the first half.

    A terrific run and chip over the keeper helped restore our two goal lead and eventually won us the match.

    Conor Wilkinson departs for Colchester United

    Conor Wilkinson departs for Colchester United

    Conor Wilkinson has left the club to join Colchester United for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance.

    The striker who signed in the summer of 2023, made 19 appearances in all competitions, scoring four goals in the process.

    “Conor has been given the opportunity for more game time and a move closer to home,” manager Stuart Kettlewell said.

    “We had a very good discussion during the negotiations and we both thought it best that this move should go ahead.

    “Although only joining us in the summer, I do believe Conor brought something to the table in his time at Motherwell and wish him the very best for the rest of his career.”

    “Thank you to everyone affiliated with Motherwell football club,” Wilkinson said.

    “From day one you welcomed me with open arms. My decision to move on wasn’t easy but with the last couple of years being injured playing games is the most important thing for me to do.

    “The gaffer and his staff work tirelessly day in day out for the football club and I wish everyone all the best. Thank you for the support this season and good luck.”

    We thank Conor for his efforts at the club and wish him the very best for the future.

    A win taken away late on // Hibernian 2-2 Motherwell

    With the festive season almost over, Motherwell had one last game before the winter shutdown, a trip to Easter Road to face Hibernian. 

    With only 12 senior players available, it was a slow start for the Steelmen who after continued pressure from the hosts, eventually went behind thanks to a Ellie Youan goal for Hibernian.

    But Motherwell showed their steel once again. Theo Bair drew the sides level as he made it three goals in two games.

    Bevis Mugabi nodded his side ahead, turning the game on it’s head in the process. The Motherwell backline had to remain robust from 64 minutes on, and looked to have achieved their task of holding on as we entered stoppage time.

    But it was late heartbreak for the ‘Well as Youan made it a double in the 92nd minute of the match, as both teams had to settle for a point.

    Brodie Spencer returns to Huddersfield Town

    Brodie Spencer has returned to his parent club Huddersfield Town. 

    Spencer joined on loan in the summer. Although the deal was initially for the full season, Huddersfield have recalled the Northern Irishman.

    “The loan market has been important in our recruitment this season and Brodie’s has been a very successful one for both player and club,” manager Stuart Kettlewell said.

    “We’re, of course, disappointed to lose Brodie earlier than initially anticipated but full understand the decision made by Huddersfield.

    “Brodie made a real impact in his time here and gained valuable game time and experience, which has got him back into the Northern Ireland setup also.

    “I want to thank Huddersfield for their co-operation and sincerely wish Brodie the very best for the rest of the season.”

    The 19-year-old made 18 appearances this campaign and was a regular in Stuart Kettlewell’s starting lineups since his arrival.

    “I want to thank everyone at Motherwell for all the help and support during my time at the club,” Brodie Spencer added.

    “It’s been such a great experience and I believe I’m a better player for my time up in Scotland. I wish the club, the supporters and everyone involved all the best for the future.”

    We thank Brodie for his efforts in his time at Fir Park and wish him well for the future.
