LIAM KELLY has joined Motherwell on loan from Queen's Park Rangers.
The 24-year-old has penned a deal that will keep him Fir Park for the remainder of the 2020/21 campaign.
Kelly moved to the English Championship in June 2019, featuring 22 times for Mark Warburton's side, but he has fallen out of favour in recent times.
Previously, the Scotland call-up was with Livingston, where he impressed over two spells following his move from Rangers.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity Motherwell have offered me,” said the goalkeeper.
“My objective is to play games. I know there’s strong competition here and I will have to earn my place.
“I’m ready and available when called upon. We’ve got a good squad and need to start picking up results.”
Kelly will wear the number 13 jersey vacated by Jordan Archer.
“Liam will strengthen our options in the goalkeeping department, with Jordan Archer having left us,” interim manager Keith Lasley said.
“He has already proven his ability at this level, playing a big part in Livingston’s success and also earning the recognition of an international call-up.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
