Motherwell club-trained players

We can verify 2 club-trained players in the Motherwell squad: Ewan Wilson and Matty Connelly. Between them they have played 0% of Motherwell's league minutes in 2026/27. 5 other squad players are not verifiable on our record.

• Ewan Wilson (DEF): 22 league minutes
• Matty Connelly (GK): no league minutes yet

On the record we can verify, 5 players club-trained at Motherwell now play for other clubs we track, led by Lennon Miller (Udinese, value €19m), David Turnbull (Cardiff City, value €2m) and Chris Cadden (Aberdeen, value €910k).

• Lennon Miller · Udinese · €19m
• David Turnbull · Cardiff City · €2m
• Chris Cadden · Aberdeen · €910k
• James Scott · St. Mirren · €650k
• Allan Campbell · St. Mirren · €570k

We count a player as club-trained when his record shows him registered with the club for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21 (UEFA's home-grown test), wherever he started and whatever he cost; time on loan counts for the club that borrowed him.
