Dundee's McGhee agrees pre-contract to join Motherwell
Dundee's Jordan McGhee has agreed a pre-contract deal to join Motherwell this summer.
The Fir Park side, who have a number of key players out injured, could explore bringing the versatile 28-year-old to the club this month.
The former Hearts and Falkirk player, who is out of contract at the end of the season, has spent more than five years at Dens Park, making more than 180 appearances and winning top-flight promotion twice.
McGhee, who can play in defence and midfield, is currently out with a hamstring issue but is expected to return soon, meaning a potential January arrival could ease Stuart Kettlewell's injury concerns.
The Well manager confirmed on Thursday that captain Paul McGinn and left-back Steve Seddon are among several players facing spells out, which also includes influential midfielder Lennon Miller.
Kettlewell, who has already brought in young midfielder Kai Andrews and goalkeeper Archie Mair on loan this window, says the club are "working endlessly" as they aim to "strengthen the group".
"But I can't really put a timescale on that," he added prior to his side's Scottish Cup trip to St Johnstone on Saturday.
"What I can finish off by saying is the club have been supportive".
Dundee, who face city rivals Dundee United in their fourth-round tie on Monday, have strengthened their squad this month by acquiring defensive duo Aaron Donnelly and Ilmari Samuels, plus midfielder Cesar Garza.
On further potential transfer business, Dens Park boss Tony Docherty says he is "hoping there might be movement on one other".
