Motherwell have signed ex-Celtic kid Jack Aitchison.
The striker has joined the Fir Park outfit until the end of the season.
He signs from Barnsley on a free after a couple of years down south.
The 22-year-old became Celtic’s youngest ever scorer when he netted against the ‘Well in 2016 at the age of 16.
He made three first team appearances for the club before moving down to Barnsley.
The forward has been on loan at Stevenage and most recently Forest Green, where he made 53 appearances scoring seven goals in the 2021/22 campaign.
Having returned to his parent club in the summer of 2022, he has made 20 appearances in League 1 this season. His goal tally currently sits a three, most recently netting on the 21 January against Accrington.
Steven Hammell said: “We needed another option in this area of the pitch.
“He is a young and enthusiastic player who offers a different dynamic to the team.
“Jack knows the area, is a local boy and knows the league very well. The fact he has been playing and even scored last week, is a huge positive for us.”
The striker will wear the number 15 shirt for the Steelmen.
Hammell has also added James Furlong to his ranks. The full-back joins on loan from Brighton.
