Motherwell strengthen up front

Last Updated : 19-Aug-2026 by John Wilson

Striker Seb Palmer-Houlden becomes Motherwell’s ninth signing and he hopes to be in the squad for Thursday’s clash with Freiburg.

The 22 year old comes from Gillingham on a two year deal with the club having a further one year option.  The fee is undisclosed.


Seb has tested himself in the Scottish game with a loan spell at Dens Park in 2024/25.  He has made two appearances for the Gills in the last fortnight.

He joins a sizeable intake to Fir Park during the current window.

The new faces -

Alex Paulsen, goalkeeper

Jake Girdwood-Reich, Martin Moormann, Dylan Williams, Jamie Knight-Lebel, defenders

 Joe Hodge, Alex Lowry, midfielders

Willy Vogt, Seb Palmer-Houlden, forwards

All the best Seb!
