Louis Moult has 'unfinished business' at Motherwell, and offered to play for free

Motherwell hero Louis Moult says he has unfinished business at the club and feels he let people down during a loan spell from Burton Albion earlier this season.

Now that the 31-year-old has been released by the Brewers, Moult has hinted that another, more permanent return to Fir Park may be on the cards.

Having scored 50 goals over two-and-a-half seasons previously, Moult arrived on a season-long loan in September to great acclaim, but was back at Burton Albion by January, due to a niggling ankle injury.

"That's what I wanted for the club. I love the football club, and I wanted them to be able to sign some able players that could play and contribute. I totally got that.

"The potential was there, and I am gutted by the way it
