Dunfermline strengthen with Stevie Lawless signing becoming John Hughes' first
Dunfermline have signed former Motherwell, Livingston and Partick Thistle midfielder Steven Lawless.
John Hughes has moved quickly to strengthen his Pars side after a disappointing 3-0 defeat at home to Arbroath and Lawless will go into the manager’s squad as soon as the January window opens.
After completing a medical at East En Park, Hughes confirmed the 30-year-old is almost ready for his first-team and came through a bounce game against Livingston recently, scoring a goal off the bench.
“He brings SPL experience and is one that can unlock the door with a wand of a left-foot,” said Hughes. “He can play a pass and look after the ball and works very hard and is a winner.
“He’s everything we want at the club.
“I have chased him since I was at Inverness. It has been a long time coming and I’m delighted it is over the line.”
Lawless played six games for Motherwell this season before leaving Fir Park by mutual consent in October.
