Stuart Kettlewell agrees to new rolling Motherwell contract

Stuart Kettlewell has signed a new contract at Motherwell.

The Fir Park boss and his assistant Stevie Frail have agreed to new rolling contracts at the Lanarkshire side.

“It’s been a huge honour to lead this team since February 2023,” manager Stuart Kettlewell said. “Remaining at the club was always something I wanted. I’m proud of what we have achieved as a team so far.

“When I first joined, the outlook was bleak, and we needed to turn the form around quickly. Fast forward 18 months, and we have gone on a scintillating run at the end of the 22/23 season, just missed out on top-six last season, increased the revenue from player sales, and progressed to the quarter-final of the Premier Sports Cup.

“The development of players has been something I’m particularly proud of.

“But what made this decision so easy was the unwavering support I’ve received from staff, the executive board and most importantly, the supporters.

“Since my first day at the club, the backing has been immense. We’ve had lots of good moments that we have celebrated together.

“I said right at the very start of my tenure that there was lots we could achieve here. That included producing a team that the supporters could buy into.

“The work towards that doesn’t stop here; if anything, it increases. I will continue to do as best I can, work as hard as I can, to reach our goals and aspirations.”

Frail added: “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at this fantastic club so far.

“I love working with the players, the staff and the manager. I didn’t know the manager prior to coming here, and it’s been rewarding to work with him.

“I’m privileged to have been offered these new terms and hopefully we can have a very successful season.”
