Jon-Joe Friel

Jon-Joe Friel, born on 2 February 2008 (age 18), is a Scottish central defender on the books at Motherwell. He is still at the early end of his senior career, with the basic shape of it clear enough for now: a young defender trying to establish himself at Fir Park.

There is no Celtic connection to overwork here, and no need to dress him up as more than he is at this stage. Friel is a developing Scottish centre-half whose progress will be measured by whether he can turn a place in the Motherwell set-up into regular first-team football. His profile is also listed on Transfermarkt.
