Motherwell have signed Lithuania international striker Deimantas Petravicius on a deal until the end of the season.

The 21-year old has won seven senior caps since making his international debut at the age of 17.

Petravicius started his career with Nottingham Forest in England and had a brief loan spell at Stevenage before leaving for Poland last summer to join Zaglebie Lubin.

Steelmen boss Stephen Robinson said: "Deimantas has been with us and played in a couple of bounce matches at Dalziel Park.

"He comes with an excellent pedigree; he's already a full international and has played in the English Championship and the Polish top flight.

"He is completely different to what we have at the top end of the pitch in that he's extremely quick, so we have a different dimension. He'll be one that will have to get up to speed and fight his way into the starting eleven.
