Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell has signed Coventry midfielder Kai Andrews on loan until the end of the season after watching the 18-year-old impress against Lennon Miller.
Welshman Andrews, who has made two substitute appearances for the Sky Blues, faced Miller in an under-19 international in November.
Kettlewell wanted another midfield option with Miller facing six to eight weeks out with an ankle fracture, Ross Callachan still working his way back from a long-term hamstring injury and both Callum Slattery and Sam Nicholson short of match practice after lengthy lay-offs.

“I recently watched him playing for his Under 19s national side against Scotland, and I thought he was a real standout,” the Motherwell manager told his club’s official website.
“Coventry have made no secret that they rate him highly, so it’s an exciting signing.”
Andrews added: “We have been exploring the idea of me going out on loan to get first-team minutes and be in that environment. I wanted a place where I felt I could perform at my best and this feels like the right place.”
