Gent lost his father just weeks after making the loan switch to Lanarkshire but has found the strength to become a key man for Stuart Kettlewell's side.
Georgie Gent has revealed the heartbreak that’s driving his ambition to reach the top as he nears the end of his loan spell at Motherwell. The Blackburn Rovers kid had only been in Lanarkshire a matter of weeks when tragedy struck his family in October with the death of dad Simon.
“The celebration was for my dad. He passed away in October. That goal was for him. He was a big influence on my career. I went through a difficult spell. But I’ve grown as a man, living on my own, I’ve become more mature. The players and the manager, every single one of them were here to support me. That gave me more confidence going into games.
It’s an area of his game the full-back admits he developed by studying Liverpool ace Trent Alexander-Arnold - even though he’s a born and bred Manchester United fan. A goal or assist would certainly help Well as they make a late push for the top six. Dundee currently occupy that spot and are six points clear of the Steelmen. But after today Well play seventh-placed Hibs and know that two wins and no more points for Dee or the Hibees over the next seven days would cement a remarkable swing in their favour.
