Adam Montgomery has joined Motherwell on loan until the end of the season.

The Celtic full-back, 21, will spend the second half of the season at Fir Park.

Montgomery had been on loan at Fleetwood but played just three times for the League One side before returning to his parent club.

Now, though, Motherwell have confirmed a quickfire loan move has been agreed for the Scotland under-21 cap.

A statement confirmed: "Adam Montgomery has joined Motherwell on loan from Celtic until the end of the season. 

"The 21-year-old, who has played 67 games already, was on loan at Fleetwood Town for the first half of the season.

"Despite starting out as a forward, Montgomery found himself in defence and has thrived since. He signed his first professional contract with Celtic in 2019, and went on to make his first team debut with Celtic in May 2021. Going on to make 20 appearances for his parent club, Montgomery has had loan spells with cinch Premiership sides Aberdeen and St Johnstone.

"He played 33 games last season with St Johnstone, scoring one goal and assisting on four occasions in the process."

Stuart Kettlewell commented: “With the low numbers we currently have available, it’s important we bring the right players to the club who we think can make an impact.

“Adam is still a very young footballer who is in the early part of his career, however, to have amassed 67 first-team games at his age, shows he already has experience and good knowledge of the game.

“I’m delighted we have been able to bring him to the club and look forward to working with him.”

Montgomery added: “I’m chuffed to be here.

“I’m excited to get going and show the fans what I can do. It’s been really good meeting all the boys so far and feel it’s a great environment to be playing football.”
