Maswanhise signs short-term Motherwell deal

Zimbabwe international Tawanda Maswanhise has secured a short-term deal with Scottish Premier League side Motherwell.

The deal runs until January, the club has announced.

Maswanhise has found himself there after he was released by recently-promoted English Premier League outfit Leicester City, where he went through their academy setup.

“Tawanda has been on trial for a couple of weeks now,” manager Stuart Kettlewell said

“We have been impressed with his endeavour every time he has taken to the training pitch. He took part in the bounce match against Everton last week and once again, he looked good.

“He offers something a bit different for us. He’s quick, direct and likes to find the back of the net. There’s lots of potential with Tawanda and hopefully we can get the best out of him.”

“I’m just buzzing to be in this position,” Maswanhise added.

“This summer has been about hard work and getting my head down. I’ve been looking for an opportunity to show people what I can do and now I’ve got one.”

Maswanhise will wear the number 55 shirt.
