“All the players, no matter how often they have played, have been dedicated to what we have been trying to do this season.

“That goes further than just playing matches, they have all bought into the training and extra work we have given players this season.

“We wish all the players well in their future football careers.”

Motherwell finished in a respectable seventh position in the SWPL1 campaign which has just ended recently, having won eight, drawn three and lost 16 of their 27 fixtures.
