Bairns manager John Hughes told the Falkirk website, “I am absolutely over the moon about the signing.  I have admired Steve’s ability for a long time.  I knew I would have to persevere to get his name on the dotted line.  That’s the reason I took him to Holland because I felt I could sell the club to him on the strength of the camaraderie that exists in the dressing room we have here.  The facilities at Stirling University are first class and I knew he was impressed with them too.  His signature will bring a whole new dimension to our attack.”

Lovell joined Aberdeen from Dundee in 2005 when Dundee were relegated from the Scottish Premier League, Lovell declined a big money move to Leicester to go where he thought he would be happy.  He scored 20 goals in 76 appearances for the Dons and 35 goals in 98 appearances for Dundee.  Falkirk fans must be as delighted as their manager is to have signed Lovell!
