Jeffers not jaded - just goal-hungry

The 30-year-old could make his Well debut against Rangers, for whom he played on loan in 2005 without scoring a goal.

But the one-time England striker, who yesterday completed a move to Fir Park until the end of the season after leaving Australian A-League side Newcastle Jets, says he is now an improved player.

The former Everton and Arsenal striker said: "I think I'm a better footballer now than when I was a young lad. I wasn't really involved in the game in the past, I would just be a poacher. I don't think I have a point to prove. If I get the chance I will score goals. I didn't have the best time at Rangers in terms of form.

"I really enjoyed the time at the club but I didn't play my best football and I really suffered with injuries and didn't get a run in the team."

Jeffers insists his hunger for the game remains following his spell in Australia. "I will prove that on the football field. People asked the same question when I went over to Australia and I was pretty successful there.

"Motherwell fans will see what hunger I have when I play. Whether or not I play (at Rangers) I will certainly look forward to making the trip."
