Striker Long returns to Fir Park on one-year contract

Christopher Long expressed his delight at signing a new deal with Motherwell.

The 25-year-old striker, who scored 11 goals in 31 games last season, returns to the Fir Park club on a one-year contract.

“I’m buzzing to be back,” Long told the club’s official website.

“Finishing third last season and qualifying for Europe was huge. I want to pick up from where I left off.”

Long’s last goal for Motherwell came in the final match of the truncated 2019/20 season, his strike in a 1-1 draw with Hearts securing a third-place finish.
