Motherwell have signed midfielder Lee Lucas on a short-term deal.

The former Swansea man has been with the club through the summer on a trial.

The 24-year-old signed a deal that keeps him with the Fir Parkers until January, with potential for the deal to be extended.

Motherwell manager Mark McGhee said: "I'm delighted that we're able to sign Lee - he'll be a valuable addition to our squad.

"As we've seen in recent weeks, injuries can hit at any point and Lee adds depth to the squad as well as bringing real ability and a great option. He is a technical midfielder, a good passer; a little different to what we have."

Lucas himself said: "I'm delighted, I've been here a while now so it's nice to get it sorted now and just concentrate on my football, help out the team and I just can't wait to get involved."

He added: "It's been great here so far, the boys have been brilliant from day one and they helped me settle in straight away.

"Now that the contract is all sorted and done, I can just focus on my football and enjoy my time here even more."
