Motherwell FC recently signed yet another pupil from Braidhurst High when first year pupil Tom Leighton joined the club as a pro-youth player. Tom attended Kirkton Primary in Carluke prior to successfully applying to join the Scottish FA School of Football group based in Braidhurst. Tom recently said, “The training and facilities are just perfect. My coach at school Paul Burns is a very good coach. At Braidhurst the education comes first and every teacher tries to make sure you are achieving to your maximum. Joining Braidhurst has been one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me and I was simply overjoyed to sign pro-youth with Motherwell.
