Motherwell have signed former Manchester City defender Ellis Plummer on a season-long contract.

The 22-year-old, who had a spell on loan at St Mirren in 2014, was released this summer after 11 years at City.

"He is a boy with a massive point to prove," Well boss Steve Robinson told the club website.external-link

"There were high hopes for him when he was younger but he has had injury problems, so we hope to give him a platform to get back to where he was."

Plummer can play a number of positions in defence and has also featured as a holding midfielder.

"I'm delighted," he said. "I was desperate for a new challenge and I think this is the perfect place for me.

"I had a taste of Scottish football from my time at St Mirren and I really enjoyed it. It's very competitive but I think that suits me."
