Maswanhise extends contract after making 'huge strides'

Motherwell forward Tawanda Maswanhise has signed a one-year contract extension after impressing manager Jens Berthel Askou with his "speed and aggressiveness".

The 22-year-old Zimbabwe international has scored 10 goals - including four in this season's League Cup group stage - in 40 appearances since joining the Steelmen last summer.

Maswanhise is now tied down under summer 2027, with Motherwell holding an option of a further year.

"Tawanda has made huge strides in his development," manager Jens Berthel Askou said.

"His speed and aggressiveness pose a constant threat to any defence in the league, both in and out of possession, and his start to this season has been nothing short of impressive.

"He has shown a strong desire to improve and an excellent ability to use his strengths for the benefit of the team."

Maswanhise says it was a "straightforward choice" to extend his stay, adding: "I will keep working hard and giving my all for this football club."
