Tony Watt re-joins Motherwell on season-long loan
The striker has played for the Steelmen previously
Tony Watt has re-joined Motherwell on a season-long loan from Dundee United.
The striker spent two years at Fir Park, scoring 19 times in 70 games, before moving to Tannadice.
The 30-year-old played a key role for United as they were promoted from the Championship last season, but has only made one appearance so far this campaign.
Motherwell boss Stuart Kettlewell is looking to add goals to his team after the sale of Theo Bair last month.
He said: “If you look at Tony’s record, he is available to play all the time.
“He is a player who has done well here with goals and strong performances. We jumped at the chance to bring him back to Fir Park and Tony himself was desperate to return.
“Tony had lots of other options, both home and abroad, but he was fixated on coming back here.”
Watt added: “It’s so good to be back in the building.
“I was itching to join Motherwell again and can’t wait to get stuck in.
“There’s obviously people who may not be too happy to see me back. I need to prove myself here and get people back on my side but that target is firmly set in my mind. I feel fit. I’ve been training and I have a full pre-season under my belt.”
