Kevin van Veen leaves Motherwell for Dutch club Groningen
The 32-year-old has left for a fee believed to be around £500,000.
Kevin van Veen has left Motherwell for Dutch side FC Groningen.
The striker has moved for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around £500,000.
The 32-year-old scored 29 goals last season and broke the club record for most consecutive games scored in, netting in 11 straight matches.
Last month manager Stuart Kettlewell said it would take a "life-changing fee" for the Steelmen to sell the forward.
Van Veen signed for the club from Scunthorpe on a free transfer and played 83 games for the Fir Park outfit and scored 40 goals.
Boss Kettlewell told the Motherwell webiste: “Of course, we are disappointed to be losing a player of Kevin’s quality.
“His effort in my time here has been exceptional and I appreciate his hard work.
“I have a great relationship with Kevin and know how much he loved his time here. I sincerely hope he has a successful time with Groningen and wish him all the best.
“Now, we face a difficult task to replace Kevin but we are working very hard behind the scenes to take this club forward.”
“Leaving Motherwell has been a really difficult decision,” Kevin van Veen added.
“From the day I arrived, I felt loved and I felt at home.
“It has been emotional and a privilege to feel the support from all the fans since day one. From having my own song, to the banners, this has been a special time of my life and I’ll never forget it.
“Breaking the records is one of my biggest accomplishments to date but more importantly, I hope in doing so, repaid the fans for their support.
“I’ll be following Motherwell from now on, every week, and I’ll look back fondly on my time here.
“Thanks for the memories and I’ll miss you all. I am in love.”
The Premiership season begins on August 5.
