Robbie Crawford has joined Motherwell on loan
We have another midfielder.
Robbie Crawford has joined on loan from Livingston.
“It was important we added competition for places in midfield,” manager Stephen Robinson said.
“Having lost Liam Donnelly to injury, and sold David Turnbull, we have been short in numbers in that area.
“With the number of games we are facing in the league, in Europe and in cup competitions, it was ***** we increased our pool.
“He comes with Premiership experience and, along with Barry Maguire, brings competition to the midfield.
“Robbie is a player we’ve watched for a number of years. He gives us a bit of bite and tenacity. He has good quality on the ball and is more game ready than some of our younger boys, who have been unable to gain ***** game time with no reserve games.
“Bringing in Robbie allows us the chance to put boys out on loan, particularly Jamie Semple, Harry Robinson, Ross MacIver and Dean Cornelius.
“They can gain ***** experience doing that and hopefully come back fighting for a place, as we develop the next crop of young players.”
