Motherwell have secured striker Henrik Ojamaa on a long-term contract after the Estonian exploded into the first team with four goals in five games.

The 20-year-old hitman penned a deal until the end of the current season when joining Stuart McCall’s side as a free agent last month.

After a stunning start to life at Fir Park, netting against Queens Park, Dunfermline and St Johnstone, the Estonia under-21 cap has now agreed to stay at Well until 2014.

Manager McCall said Ojamaa would need nurtured but was delighted with the striker’s start to his Motherwell career.

McCall said: “Henrik came in and had a good trial and since he’s signed he’s been electric.

“We’ve got to be careful, we can’t expect that week-in, week-out – I think he’s had four shots and four goals – but he’s a terrific lad, great to work with and he just wants to learn.

“He’s added the goals to our mix and the other parts of his game are excellent. He’s something a bit different to our other strikers – he likes to go beyond and down the channels.

“He’s a tenacious, really hard worker and makes chances for other people. The icing on the cake is the way he had finished – left foot or right foot, they are terrific finishes.

“We’re hopeful we’ll hear about the contract over the next couple of days. Henrik’s sent the contract abroad to let his dad have a little cast over it but we are hopeful that prior to Saturday’s game he will have signed a longer term deal with us.

“He’s enjoying his time here and the fans have taken to him. He won’t always be rattling goals in but he has certainly given us a boost.”

Ojamaa will continue to link up for the Lanarkshire men with Jamie Murphy, who turned down a move to Championship side Blackpool on transfer deadline day.

Motherwell accepted a bid from Ian Holloway’s club on Tuesday, January 31, but the former Scotland under-21 attacker has pledged to remain at Fir Park for now.

McCall said: “I was down at a bounce game and I got a text to say a bid had been accepted for Jamie, then at the end of the game I got another one saying he’d knocked it back. Obviously I’m very pleased at that.

“It happens in the last day of the window that you get bids which maybe don’t reflect a player’s ability, I don’t think it reflect Jamie’s ability and hopefully between now and the end of the season he’ll show them he’s worth double that.”
