Motherwell Chairman Kyrk Macmillan Aims to Retain Lennon Miller for Extended Period

Motherwell’s newly appointed chairman, Kyrk Macmillan, has expressed his objective to keep midfielder Lennon Miller at the club for “as long as possible.” The 18-year-old, whose contract at Fir Park extends until summer 2026, has attracted interest from Celtic and Rangers, having established himself as a prominent young talent. Miller has participated in more than 50 matches since his Motherwell debut in 2022. While Macmillan acknowledges that the club’s “model” will eventually necessitate his transfer, he hopes the midfielder will make numerous additional appearances in the team’s claret and amber colours. In an interview with Sky Sports, Macmillan, who assumed the role of Well chairman earlier this month, discussed Miller’s contributions and future. He stated: “Lennon’s done incredibly well since he came into the first team, obviously he’s now captain of the club over the last couple of matches, did it at Hampden as well for the semi-final.” Macmillan further elaborated on the club’s aspirations for the player, adding: “I think ultimately it’s about Lennon’s growth journey and we want him to stay at Motherwell as long as possible.” He also remarked on the player’s impact, saying: “It’s great watching him every Saturday, he gets supporters excited and people are really excited to engage with him and his journey in football.” Acknowledging potential future developments, Macmillan noted: “There may come a time where Lennon decides, ‘I want to try something new in another environment’, but ultimately we want to make his time at Motherwell as successful as it can be.” He concluded by outlining the club’s ethos: “That is who we are as a football club and that will be the same for Lennon as it will be, hopefully, for other players in the future as well.”
