Motherwell boss Robinson hopes to tap into Plummer's potential

The former England youth international has spent the last 11 years at Premier League giants Manchester City.

Now the 22-year-old centre-back has penned a one-year deal with Well after his time at the Etihad Stadium came to an end this summer.

Plummer has previous playing experience north of the border after making seven appearances during an injury-hit loan stint at St Mirren in 2014.

But now he hopes to show his truth worth after making his Fir Park switch.

Plummer said: I'm delighted. I was desperate for a new challenge and I think this is the perfect place for me.

I had a taste of Scottish football from my time at St Mirren and I really enjoyed it. It's very competitive but I think that suits me.''

Well boss Stephen Robinson added: I think Ellis will definitely add to our squad - he can play in a number of different positions; left-back, left centre-back or holding midfield.

He is a boy with a massive point to prove - there were very high hopes for him when he was younger but he has had a few injury problems and we are hoping to give him a platform to get back to where he was.'
