Crichton, who has also played for Celtic, Hibernian and Notts County, lifted multiple league titles and featured in the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

She was part of the historic Scotland squad to qualify for both the UEFA Women's Euro 2017 and 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, which catapulted our national team to so many girls across the country.

"Glasgow City have played a major role in shaping who I am,” said Crichton.

“I’m delighted to have signed with Motherwell.

"I have worked with Paul previously and this was an opportunity that I couldn’t refuse.

“I believe this is the beginning of something really exciting and hope together we can bring success to this football club.”

“She is an incredible professional both on and off the pitch, with a real winning mentality.

“Leanne will also join the coaching staff as the assistant manager. I know the standards Leanne sets and that’s why I worked so hard to bring her here to Motherwell.”
