Motherwell chief executive Alan Burrows has announced he is stepping down from his role at the club.

He was appointed in 2014 and is the longest serving CEO in the Scottish Premiership.

Burrows feels it is time for someone new to take over at the club to bring new ideas and a different approach.

In a statement he revealed he will stay in the role until his successor is appointed.

He told the club's official website: “It is with a very heavy heart that I resign from a club that I love dearly.

“I have hugely enjoyed working with my fellow directors, the amazing, hard-working staff and the countless players, managers and coaches in that time. I want to thank and pay tribute to each and every one of them; I have so many terrific memories.

“I would also like to thank the supporters who accepted me as one of them, and gave me room and time to get comfortable in my role, particularly at the start.

“I have discussed my future with the chairman for some time and although there isn’t always an ideal time, I felt a new year gives everyone the chance for fresh start.

"I would like to give someone else the chance to drive our club forward. Someone who can perhaps bring new, exciting ideas and a different approach.

“Although I’ll shortly leave Fir Park for the last time, my heart will always be with this fantastic club. Thanks again for everything.”
