The 25-year-old will spend the rest of the season on loan at the Scottish Premiership side after falling down the pecking order at Northampton.

“We’re all very happy to bring Harry on board,” said Alexander, whose side are second-bottom and next play Ash Taylor's Aberdeen.

“We need a squad with different attributes and skillsets, and Harry is a player who will fit in with our squad very well.

“I’m sure over the course of the rest of the season, he will make a significant contribution to our results.

“He comes here as a motivated player who can enhance our attacking options. We look forward to working with him”

Smith himself added: “I’m delighted to make the move. I’ve heard a lot about Motherwell and Scottish football already, and I can’t wait to get started.”
