New Motherwell chairman Kyrk Macmillan aims to keep Lennon Miller at the club for “as long as possible”.
The 18-year-old midfielder, who is under contract at Fir Park until summer 2026, has been linked with Celtic and Rangers after emerging as a standout young talent.
Miller has played more than 50 games since his Motherwell debut in 2022 and while Macmillan accepts the club’s “model” means they will have to cash in at some point, he hopes the midfielder has plenty more appearances in claret and amber to come.
“Lennon’s done incredibly well since he came into the first team, obviously he’s now captain of the club over the last couple of matches, did it at Hampden as well for the semi-final,” Macmillan, who was appointed Well chairman earlier this month, told Sky Sports.
“I think ultimately it’s about Lennon’s growth journey and we want him to stay at Motherwell as long as possible.
“It’s great watching him every Saturday, he gets supporters excited and people are really excited to engage with him and his journey in football.
“There may come a time where Lennon decides, ‘I want to try something new in another environment’, but ultimately we want to make his time at Motherwell as successful as it can be.
“That is who we are as a football club and that will be the same for Lennon as it will be, hopefully, for other players in the future as well.”
