Ainsworth extends Motherwell stay

Winger Lionel Ainsworth has signed a new two-year deal with Motherwell, the Ladbrokes Premiership club have announced.

The 27-year-old was out of contract but has renewed his commitment to the cause at Fir Park after playing a key role in keeping Motherwell in the top flight.

The Englishman, who initially joined on loan from Rotherham, scored in each of the play-off legs as Motherwell beat Rangers 6-1.

The pacey wide player has notched 20 goals and a similar number of assists in two years in Lanarkshire.
