McCormack makes Well return after Mariners exit

Veteran striker Ross McCormack has returned to former club Motherwell on loan until the end of the Scottish Premiership season.

The 32-year-old, still under contract at Aston Villa, originally played for Well between 2006 and 2008 before earning a move to Cardiff City and kickstarting his career in the Championship in England.

"I feel like this was the club that helped launch my career and I will be forever grateful for that," he said. "I've had a frustrating few years and I am desperate to just get back on the pitch again and do what I do."

McCormack joined Villa in a reported £12million deal in 2016 but failed to impress, with Well now his fourth loan club since then. He starred in the A-League for Melbourne City last term.
