Tawanda Maswanhise has expressed his delight after signing a new deal with Scottish Premiership club Motherwell FC.

Maswanhise agreed to a two-year contract that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2027, with Motherwell holding an option for a further year.

The Warriors international has now extended his stay for the second time since arriving from Leicester City a year ago.

The 22-year-old initially signed a six-month deal before extending it by 18 months, running until 2026.

Maswanhise, who has so far made 40 appearances and scored ten goals for Motherwell, told the club’s official website:

“I have truly enjoyed my time here. Ultimately, I wanted to stay, and signing this deal was a straightforward choice.

“The fans, players, and staff are all fantastic. I’ve felt valued by everyone, which motivates me to keep contributing my best.

“I will keep working hard and giving my all for this football club. It’s an exciting time.”

Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou added:

“Since joining Motherwell a year ago, Tawanda has made huge strides in his development.

“His speed and aggressiveness pose a constant threat to any defence in the league, both in and out of possession, and his start to this season has been nothing short of impressive.

“He has shown a strong desire to improve and an excellent ability to use his strengths for the benefit of the team. We have high expectations that he will be an important and decisive player for us in the season ahead, and we’re delighted to have extended his contract.”
