In the pre-season of 1998/99, Motherwell’s Finnish manager Harri Kampman swooped to sign Thistle’s impressive young player. On the opening day of the campaign, he netted the winner as he struck an impressive free kick which won ‘Well’s opening game against St Johnstone 1-0. As time wore on, he started to slide out the side as Stephen McMillan seemed the preferred choice at left full back. In a friendly against Dutch outfit, FC Utrecht, Jered managed to get a trial with them after impressing in a 4-0 defeat, but returned to Scotland shortly after with no deal in hand. Soon thereafter Billy Davies was named new Motherwell manager and Jered Stirling was not in his plans and eventually left the club having made seven first team appearances, scoring the solitary goal. He would later feature again for Partick Thistle and then fellow Lanarkshire outfit, Albion Rovers whom he has scored a fair amount of goals for after making just over a century of appearances.
