'Motherwell on the ball with new Oxborough deal'

Motherwell
[BBC]

I’m not saying I manifested Aston Oxborough’s contract extension, however...

I am beyond delighted at the news and once you see the stats that he has not only made the most saves this season out of all top-flight goalkeepers, his numbers compared to Liam Kelly's last season are eye-opening.

Not only did we extend his deal, but getting Tawanda Maswanhise tied down to 2026 with an option to extend is a phenomenal piece of business. He has been the answer we never knew we needed to a lot of our issues up front. Far too often we drag our heels with offering extensions or new deals, but the club's been on the ball this time.

With momentum behind us, Dundee at home feels like it could be a walk in the park but I won’t allow us to get ahead of ourselves. Dundee won’t make it easy for us, but I do ultimately believe we will get the better of them.
