LEE Erwin has been backed to get into double-digits for goals this season, by a player who knows him better than most.

Athletic full-back Josh Law saw the 21-year break through the youth ranks at Fir Park to become a real asset for Motherwell.

The colleagues were reunited when Erwin agreed a season-long loan deal with Athletic from Leeds.

IMPRESSED

So far, while he hasn't found the net, Erwin's all-round game has impressed and Law says goals will surely follow.

"He has done everything but score," said Law. "He works so hard for the team and relieves pressure by holding the ball up.

"He just needs one to go in and I am sure more will follow after that.

"He will have a target of hitting double figures for the season and he is more than capable of getting there."
