Wycombe boss Peter Taylor could not guarantee Sutton first-team football at Adams Park and so the 24-year-old has decided to return north of the border with Well.

"I am looking forward to getting back playing in the SPL," said Sutton.

"I've always enjoyed my spells in Scotland and have usually done not too bad. The teams I've played with have always tried to play good football and Motherwell are no different. The SPL is a great league with every week being a real test.

"Europe is also massive for us. As I understand it, if we win one tie we'll be in the group stages and could play against some massive clubs so I am really looking forward to that. Motherwell, to a certain extent, were the surprise team last year and to finish third was a hell of an achievement. I want to come here, score goals, and help us get there again."

Meanwhile Sutton's fellow striker Leon Knight has also left the Chairboys, having his contract cancelled by mutual consent.
