Ross Tierney ready for physical challenge with Motherwell after move from Bohs

Ross Tierney is relishing the challenge of proving he can handle the physical nature of the Scottish Premiership after battling against bigger players all of his life.The 20-year-old made 67 appearances for the Dublin side over three seasons and is a Republic of Ireland Under-21 international. But he feels his size had put off some other suitors before Motherwell succeeded with a bid.

“I am obviously small in stature but I am well able to hold big boys off because I have been playing with older lads my whole life, running about with my big brothers and then playing three years senior level with Bohs has helped, but there is obviously a long way to go physically. With his partner and their two children now over in Scotland with him, Tierney is looking to settle in on and off the pitch in Lanarkshire.

“I spoke to him a lot about how we play and how we see him fitting in and he has seen that in training and I thought he got it straight away in the position he played on Saturday. “There is still a lot of progress Ross has to make to become the finished article but certainly the raw talent is there and the drive.
