Motherwell have confirmed the signing of Craig Tanner on a two-year deal.

The attacking midfielder is the Steelmen's third signing of the summer as manager Stephen Robinson rebuilds his squad for the 2017/18 campaign.

The 22-year-old, who can play as a support striker or on the wing, joins from Reading but has played most of his senior football during loan spells with AFC Wimbledon and Plymouth Argyle.

Tanner told MFC TV: "I'm delighted to have joined, having good talks about the club with Stephen Robinson and Martin Foyle (chief scout). It's a good day for me.

"I have a really positive feeling about the club and feel they are really building for the future."

Robinson said: "Craig is a good signing for us and gives us something different again.

"He can unlock doors, playing in little pockets across the front three, left side, right side or in behind the striker.

"He is a really good signing for the club."
