Motherwell appoint James McFadden as assistant manager

Scottish Premiership outfit Motherwell confirm that former Scotland forward James McFadden has been appointed as the club's assistant manager.

Former Scotland forward James McFadden has been appointed as the assistant manager of Scottish Premiership club Motherwell.

The 33-year-old, who will also be registered as a player, succeeds Stephen Robinson, who became manager of Oldham Athletic this summer.

"When I spoke with [manager Mark McGhee] about taking the role, I started to get excited about what we could achieve," McFadden told BBC Sport.

"Everyone knows I love the club and will work as hard as I possibly can to make a success of things. It's something new and it'll be a change for me, but it's an exciting one and one I think I can handle.

"I want to work with and develop individuals, particularly the younger guys, and hopefully pass on helpful information that will make them better players."

McFadden started his career at Well before being transferred to Everton and also had spells with Birmingham City, Sunderland and St Johnstone before returning to Fir Park for a third spell.
