Steven Howarth agrees Motherwell exit

Howarth joined Motherwell from Clyde

Steven Howarth has left Motherwell after coming to an agreement to terminate his contract four months before it was due to expire.

The former Clyde striker signed a one-year deal during the summer after an impressive stint with Well's under-19s.

However, the route to first-team football was blocked by Michael Higdon, Jamie Murphy, Omar Daley, Bob McHugh, Henrik Ojamaa and Gary Smith.

Howarth spent a short spell on loan at Alloa Athletic earlier in the campaign.

The 19-year-old joined Motherwell in 2010 after breaking into Third Division outfit Clyde's first team.
