Former Mother midfielder Matthew McDonald has completed his move to Airdrieonians.
It was revealed last week that the 18-year-old was on the verge of a move to New Brromfield, having been on trial at the club.
And the Diamonds have this morning announced the youngster has put pen to paper.
McDonald told the Airdrie website: “I’m happy to be joining a club where I’ll get opportunities to play first-team football.
“Pre-season has been great so far and I can’t wait to get started properly!”
McDonald played for the Diamonds over the weekend as they lost 3-0 to Clyde in the pre-season NL Cup and Airdrie boss Ian Murray added “Matthew was training with Motherwell’s first-team all of last season, and you can see that.”
“He’s a lovely footballer, and while I think we can add a bit more to his game in terms of going forward, I’m sure he’ll do well here.”
Airdrie kick-off their competitive season on Saturday when they host Annan in the Premier Sports Cup group stages.
