Last updated 31st Jan 2023
Former Celtic striker Jack Aitchison has joined Motherwell from Barnsley on a deal until the end of the season.
The 22-year old moves on a free transfer in the final hour before the January deadline.
Aitchison became Celtic’s youngest ever scorer when he scored against the steelment in 2016 at the age of 16.
The forward moved to Barnsley in 2020 and has spent time on loan at Forest Green Rovers and Stevenage.
He had a prolific spell for Scotland's under-19 side where he bagged 11 goals in 19 appearances.
Manager Steven Hammell told the club's official website: “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.”
