Motherwell winger Josh Watt loaned to Airdrie United

Stuart McCall: Allowed Josh Watt to go out on loan

Motherwell winger Josh Watt has joined First Division side Airdrie United on a three-month loan deal.

The 19-year-old has struggled to break into the first team at Fir Park but will aim to impress Steelmen boss Stuart McCall during his time at the Excelsior Stadium.

Watt's debut could come on Saturday when the Diamonds take on league leaders Partick.

"I am really pleased to get things tied up and I'm looking forward to getting started with Airdrie," Watt told Motherwell's official website.

"It's a big thing for any footballer to train Monday to Friday then go and play on a Saturday.

"I am hoping my three months there can help me progress as a footballer and when I return to Motherwell in January, hopefully I am a better player and can give the manager another option.

"I've been at the club for ten years and I am still very keen to be involved with the first-team. But, until January at least, I will be doing everything I can to try and help Airdrie."
