Aston Oxborough, released by Norwich City at the end of the season, looks set to move north of the border.
The 24-year-old goalkeeper, who came through the youth ranks at Carrow Road but never made a senior appearance, is reportedly ready to rekindle his career at Motherwell.
Reports say he has already had a medical at Motherwell, managed by Graham Alexander, and will sign a three-year deal.
Oxborough has experience in non-league football with Barnet and Wealdstone.
Motherwell open their Scottish Premier League campaign away at St Mirren on Sunday.
