Lions pounce for St Ledger

Motherwell manager Stuart McCall has signed a new two-year contract that will keep him at Fir Park until the summer of 2015.

McCall has had a successful time since arriving at the club in December 2010, securing top six places in the last three seasons, a Scottish Cup Final, and Champions League and Europa League qualification following last season's third place finish.

McCall, whose contract was due to expire at the end of the current season, said: "I am really delighted to have it sorted. As I have said on numerous occasions, there was never any issues, it was just a case of getting round to it.

"I've been doing my job exactly the same in terms of the squad and you have already seen that with some of the younger players who have signed up.

"There has never been any doubt on my mind but I am pleased it is finally signed. We can now focus all the attention on the last seven matches of this SPL season."

Chief Executive Leeann Dempster added: ""We are really delighted to have Stuart at the club for a further two years.

"We have enjoyed real success under his stewardship with a strong backroom staff and playing squad and we hope that we can build on that for the season ahead."

The 28-year-old centre-back will complete his switch to the London club following the npower Championship fixture between the Foxes and the Lions at the King Power Stadium on Friday evening. He will remain with Kenny Jackett's team until May 4.

Millwall's run to the FA Cup semi-finals means St Ledger could feature in as many as 10 games for the Lions, including the Wembley showpiece against Wigan on April 13.

The Republic of Ireland international's season has been blighted by a hamstring injury that has limited him to just 10 appearances for Leicester.

He also played 18 minutes as a substitute in his country's World Cup qualifier against Austria in Dublin on Tuesday night.

St Ledger will be available to make his debut for Millwall against Ipswich on Monday.
