James McFadden 'unlikely' to join Motherwell

Former Everton striker James McFadden is 'unlikely' to join Motherwell this summer, according to the club's boss Stuart McCall.

The 29-year-old is currently a free agent after leaving the Toffees at the end of the season, but a move to Fir Park does not appear to be on the agenda.

"James has spoken to people who are a lot higher than I am at Motherwell who deal with the purse strings and I don't think the outcome was favourable," McCall told reporters.

McFadden scored 15 goals in 48 games for Scotland.
