Motherwell midfielder Allan Campbell hopes his journey will showcase to younger players that the Lanarkshire club is a place of opportunity.

The 22-year-old is coming to the end of his contract and there has been significant speculation about where his future lies.

He has been offered a new contract by the Fir Park side, but as of yet, nothing has been made official regarding where he will end up next season.

Glasgow Times:

The all-round dynamo has been held up as an inspiration by a succession of coaches for his commitment on and off the park and he hopes his example helps those following in his steps.

He said: "I've been lucky enough to come through the ages and get my chance to play for the first team and hopefully create a pathway for young kids trying to get that dream and goal.

"When you’re coming through at Motherwell it’s just about trying to get your debut and become a regular in the team and that’s been brilliant for me.

"They trusted me to play and I have just kept my place and kept trying to perform well."

The Scotland Under-21s international has seen the likes of David Turnbull and Jake Hastie move to both Celtic and Rangers respectively. 

He continued: "Obviously I’m pals with Dave so I speak to him regularly. I’m not surprised he is making an impact in the team and I’m sure he will keep doing well for Celtic.

"There’s a lot of people I have played with for a number of years, good pals, and to see them do so well and improve their careers is brilliant, and that’s credit to Motherwell for bringing the young players up and giving them a chance to perform at that level."
