Speaking to MFC TV, Kipre said: "I'm feeling very good and I'm very happy to have signed here.

"I've been in for a couple of weeks now so I've had a good chance to see everything, see the facilities and everything so yes, I'm very happy."

Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson added: "I managed to get a good look at him over the past few weeks and it was never a doubt in my mind that we'd offer him a contract.
