Motherwell have signed Welsh midfielder Dylan Levitt, adding significant Premiership experience to their squad. The 25-year-old joins on a two-year deal with an option for a further season, becoming the club's 11th acquisition of the summer window.
Levitt returns to Scottish football after a spell with Leyton Orient in English League One. He brings nearly 100 appearances in the Premiership from his time with Hibernian and Dundee United. The move was confirmed by the Daily Record this week.
Manager Alred Johansson expressed clear enthusiasm for the new arrival. "Dylan will be a player well-known to our support," Johansson said. His experience in the division is expected to help him adapt quickly to the demands at Fir Park.
Levitt is likely to compete for a starting role in central midfield. He could make his debut in the upcoming league match against his former club, Dundee United. This addition bolsters a squad currently sitting 6th in the Premiership with 5 points from three games.
The team's start to the 2026-27 campaign has been solid if unspectacular. Their record stands at one win and two draws, with a goal difference of +1 after scoring five and conceding four. Recent form shows a draw, a draw, and a win, leaving them four points behind leaders Celtic.
The next major test comes on December 26th with an away trip to face Celtic, a fixture that will provide a stern examination of the team's progress.
The player himself is pleased to be back in Scotland. "It’s a great feeling to be back in Scotland," Levitt stated upon signing. He believes his familiarity with the league will allow him to slot into the side without a lengthy adjustment period.
His arrival continues a busy period of recruitment for Johansson. The manager has been reshaping his options ahead of a demanding schedule. Fans can track all the ins and outs on the official squad page.
Attention now turns to integrating Levitt ahead of the next match. The immediate focus is the Premiership encounter with Dundee United at Fir Park. After that, the calendar includes a visit to Celtic Park to face the league leaders.
Motherwell will hope Levitt's quality can help them close the gap at the top. The two-year contract, with its option for a third, shows the club's belief in his ability to contribute over the medium term. His first appearance could come this weekend.
