Lasley signs new deal

Motherwell midfielder Keith Lasley has put pen to paper on a new two-year contract to keep him at the Fir Park club.

The 32-year-old, who captained the team in the latter stages of the season, follows fellow long-serving player Stevie Hammell in staying at the Scottish Premier League club. Lasley has played 298 games in two spells with 'Well, separated by a stint at Plymouth and has played his best football under current manager Stuart McCall, helping the club into the Champions League qualifiers this year. Lasley told the club's official website: "I am delighted - I never wanted to leave Motherwell. "It was similar to any contract, there were negotiations back and forth but I am just so pleased it has been sorted out. I am already looking forward to next season."
