Scottish Premiership side Motherwell FC has officially parted ways with Nigerian striker Moses Ebiye as his contract draws to a close. The 28-year-old forward, who joined the club on a free transfer in March 2024, will not be offered a renewal, according to a club announcement.
Ebiye made a remarkable first impression by scoring in his debut match, raising expectations among fans and analysts. However, despite flashes of brilliance, he struggled to maintain consistent form throughout the remainder of the season. His final tally for Motherwell stands at 3 goals and 2 assists across 15 appearances.
The club’s decision to release the forward comes amid a broader push to revamp the squad ahead of the new season. Known for its competitive edge, the Scottish Premiership demands peak performance, and Motherwell is evidently aiming to bring in fresh talent to bolster their attacking options.
Ebiye's departure has triggered mixed reactions across the football community, particularly among Nigerian fans who had high hopes for his European journey. While some attribute his exit to the intense competition within the league, others point to his inconsistent form as a decisive factor.
Questions now swirl around Ebiye’s next move. Will he remain in the Scottish Premiership or seek opportunities in other European leagues? His skill set and physical presence up front could still appeal to clubs looking for a seasoned forward with top-flight experience.
Motherwell’s move underscores its commitment to building a competitive squad capable of contending for honors in the coming season. As the summer transfer window heats up, the spotlight will remain on Moses Ebiye and the next chapter of his professional career.
