James McFadden signs deal with Motherwell

James McFadden has insisted that it did not take long for him to make the decision to return to Motherwell.

The former Everton attacker, who has signed a one-year contract at Fir Park, admits that the opportunity to return to familiar surroundings was too good to turn down.

The Scotland international told MFC TV: "I am really pleased to have it all sorted. When the manager asked me to go to Spain, I made up my mind then that I was going to come back and I am really looking forward to the season ahead.

"My relationship with the supporters and how they are with me certainly played a part in my decision.

"It's familiar surroundings; obviously I really enjoyed it last season, I hope the fans will be happy and I am happy to get it all done."

McFadden scored five goals in 13 appearances during the final three months of the season for the Steelmen.
