McKinnon and Howarth loaned out to find game time
Motherwell youngsters Ross McKinnon and Steven Howarth have been sent out on 28-day loan deals by the club.
Left-back McKinnon will follow in the footsteps of Ross Forbes, Gary Smith and Jordan Halsman by joining Second Division outfit Dumbarton.
Former Clyde striker Howarth, Motherwell's top scorer at Under-19s level last season, has made the switch to Third Division Alloa Athletic.
Motherwell boss Stuart McCall confirmed the duo have gone to find some game time.
McCall said, "We have been arranging quite a few bounce games for our fringe lads to play in but nothing can replicate a competitive match.
"Ross and Stevie both need games and this will give them a perfect opportunity. Hopefully they will return to Fir Park next month sharper and will make a big push for a spot in the first-team."
Meanwhile, Under 19s defender Dean McLean has come to an agreement with Motherwell over terminating his contract and will leave the club with immediate effect.
