It took Louis Moult a long time to find a club willing to take a chance on giving him a good run in the first team but after hovering around League Two and the National League, it seems he's found the right place for him. He was bright prospect at Stoke but, despite being involved three times at the start of the 2009/10 season, he was sent on loan to Bradford where he gained valuable experience and game time but failed to find form in front of goal. He then went to Mansfield and made an instant impact, bagging a brace on his debut. Just as he started to find his feet in the professional game, he suffered a back injury and was sent back to Stoke to recover. More unsuccessful loan spells followed and he found himself being released by his parent club in the summer of 2012. Northampton gave the Englishman a one-year contract following a successful trial. However, he only managed one goal in 13 games and was sent on loan to Nuneaton where despite only scoring once, manager Kevin Wilkin saw his talent and signed him for the Conference side the next season. Moult finally lived up to his potential, bagging 8 goals in his first 9 games and was instrumental in Nuneaton's early playoff charge however, manager Wilkin left for Wrexham and poor form saw Moult's 17 goals only put his side 13th. He rejoined his old manager at the Welsh side and was set the target to score 20 goals in the season, he didn't disappoint. After managing 23 in 49, he was offered a move to the SPL with Motherwell signing him for an undisclosed fee. He's never looked back since and has cemented himself as one of the best strikers in Scotland. He managed 18 goals in 42 in his first year, despite playing with a groin injury for half a year. After surgery, he's come back this season in the best form of his career with 10 goals in 13 games, including 4 in the derby against Hamilton and a brace against Celtic on Saturday. At 6ft, he's the complete package; good in the air, can beat a man with pace, his hold up play is superb and in front of goal, there's not many strikers as clinical as him. Dubbed as the 'SPL's Jamie Vardy', Moult seems to have finally found the club where he belongs and with his form this year, has the potential to lead this Motherwell side in their quest to dethrone Celtic.
