The Englishman told the Motherwell website: “I’m excited to be here in Scotland. I wanted to continue playing regular first-team football, and the opportunity to join Motherwell and play in the Scottish Premiership was an exciting prospect for myself personally.
“The manager has a real track record of developing players and enhancing their qualities on the pitch, and I felt that Motherwell would be the perfect place for me to develop my game.”
Gaffer Stuart Kettlewell said: “This is another positive addition. Dominic is still a relatively young defender, who has already made a considerable amount of appearances across all levels of the English footballing pyramid.
“He has a quick burst of pace, physically strong, and technically skilled both going forward and when defending. We are looking forward to seeing Dominic in action this season.”
