Sutton seals Scotland return
by Tom Adams, 19 August 2008
Motherwell have announced the capture of former St Mirren and Dundee striker John Sutton, who returns to Scotland following a spell with Wycombe Wanderers.
The 24-year-old scored six goals in League Two last season but found the lure of Scotland too hard to resist and has now signed a three-year deal with Mark McGhee’s side.
Having scored 25 goals in 57 league starts with St Mirren between 2005 and 2007, Sutton is looking to return to his prolific best at Fir Park.
"I am looking forward to getting back playing in The SPL," Sutton told the club’s official website.
"I've always enjoyed my spells in Scotland and have usually done not too bad. The teams I've played with have always tried to play good football and Motherwell are no different.
“The SPL is a great league with every week being a real test.
"Europe is also massive for us. As I understand it, if we win one tie we'll be in the group stages and could play against some massive clubs so I am really looking forward to that.
“Motherwell, to a certain extent, were the surprise team last year and to finish third was a hell of an achievement. I want to come here, score goals, and help us get there again."
