Motherwell sign striker Tony Watt until the end of the season

Motherwell have snapped up striker Tony Watt until the end of the season, after he impressed in training.

Watt, 26, was training and using facilities at Fir Park last week, but has done enough to seal a short-term deal.

The former Celtic striker, who is from Coatbridge, joins after being released by CSKA Sofia in January. The move is subject to clearance from the Bulgarian FA.

Manager Stephen Robinson told Motherwell's website: "Tony is a player who maybe has a little bit of a point to prove.

"We lost James Scott at the last second of the window, so being able to bring a player of Tony's experience in on a short-term deal is a big boost for us.

"He will bring us another option in attack, as we look to secure a top-six place and push on."

Watt scored five goals in Bulgaria and also featured in UEFA Europa League qualifiers for CSKA.

He has also played for Celtic, St Johnstone and Hearts, having debuted in the Challenge Cup as a 16-year-old with Airdrie United.

Watt also played for Charlton Athletic, Blackburn Rovers and Cardiff City.
