Harry Paton announced his return from injury in emphatic fashion on Saturday with a 97th minute for Motherwell.And now he hopes he can hold down a regular slot working under "passionate and professional" boss Stuart Kettlewell for the second time in his career.The Canadian played under Kettlewell at Ross County a few years ago and he was the gaffer's first signing when he took the reins last season, having been a free agent.A groin injury has hampered his time at Fir Park, but Paton - who signed a new two-year deal in the summer - was introduced at the start of the second half against Kilmarnock and turned the game in the Steelmen's favour.Trailing 1-0 after Marley Watkins' early header, Paton provided the impetus that was required in midfield and the hosts levelled through Dan Casey's first goal for the club, before Paton popped up to produce a composed finish with the last kick of the ball.It sent Motherwell, who are on a run of nine games unbeaten under Kettlewell in the league, joint-top of the Premiership with Celtic.And Paton hopes the understanding between player and gaffer can see him kick on in claret and amber.He said : “I have worked with him for a few years.

He knows what I can do and he knows what I can bring to the team.“It’s been a bit of a stop-start start to the season for me, I’ve had a few issues with my groin which has had me in and out.“I was hoping I would be involved at some stage because I don’t want to be stuck on the sides, I want to be playing.“It was great to get the shout at half-time and I just want to keep this going.“Hopefully I can stay fit, keep doing my thing and make an impact on the team.“He’s great to work for, he’s so passionate, so professional and you can see on the side how much
