Stephen Welsh Completes Loan Move from Celtic to Motherwell
Stephen Welsh, a 25-year-old central defender from Celtic, has joined Motherwell on a season-long loan deal after a successful loan spell at Belgian club KV Mechelen. Despite signing a new contract with Celtic in summer 2023, injuries and competition have limited his first-team opportunities, prompting the move to gain regular Premiership football. Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou praised Welsh's composure, confidence, and experience at both domestic and European levels, highlighting his suitability as a modern centre-back. Welsh expressed enthusiasm about the loan, noting the positive team atmosphere and his readiness following two weeks of training ahead of their first game against Dundee. Prior to this loan, Celtic had turned down offers for Welsh from Belgian clubs and Plymouth Argyle, but both clubs and the player favored a domestic loan to maximize playing time. The move also fits Celtic's loan strategy, as they have limited international loan slots, making the switch to Motherwell beneficial for all parties involved.
