Cowdenbeath FC has entered into a new partnership with Premiership side Motherwell.
The agreement, part of a Scottish FA pilot scheme launching this season, aims to support the development of young players across the Scottish football pyramid.
Paul McLean, Cowdenbeath manager, and Colin Nelson, the club’s director of football operations, recently met with senior Motherwell representatives to finalise the collaboration.
Nelson said: "I am absolutely delighted to confirm we have entered into a co-op agreement with Premiership club Motherwell.
"It's something we have worked on throughout the pre-season.
"Motherwell, as a club, really are at the forefront in Scottish football in developing young talent.
"We are really delighted they have chosen to collaborate with us in this venture."
He said the scheme formalises existing positive communications between the two clubs and will provide opportunities for both teams and the players involved.
Nelson said: "The co-operation agreement builds on this and the aim of course is that the players involved and both clubs derive benefits from this link-up."
Cowdenbeath has previously benefited from player loans from Motherwell, including last season’s player of the year, Olly Whyte.
Nelson said: "Before that we had Adam McDonald and Robbie Garcia at Central Park.
"I'm therefore pleased to announce we have arranged with Motherwell to now bring two players to Cowdenbeath under this new co-operation agreement."
As part of the partnership, the Blue Brazil will welcome 18-year-old defender Scott Williamson and 17-year-old forward Nathan Lawson, both on loan.
He added: "I would like to thank Motherwell and their people for entering into this co-operation agreement with Cowdenbeath FC and for placing their trust in us to work with some of their talented young players."
