Gary Caldwell has reinforced his team by making a double signing as he secured the services of Sam Morsy from Chesterfield and Ryan Colclough who arrived from Crewe Alexandra, both of them were signed for undisclosed fees.
Sam Morsy is a 24 year old English midfielder who used to be the captain of Chesterfield and he decided to pen a 2 and half year long deal with Wigan Athletic meanwhile Ryan Colclough opted to sign a 3 and half year contract with the English League One club.
After both of these deals were officially complete, the head coach of Wigan Athletic, Gary Caldwell told the media that these have been players that were in his watch-list for quite some time now as the Scottish manager said: “They are players we have been keeping a close eye on so to be able to get both over the line now is a major boost for us.’’
“We saw their talent first-hand in matches this season and they both were both standout players in matches against Chesterfield and Crewe respectively. They are exactly the type of players we want at Wigan Athletic, young and hungry, but with plenty of experience at this level at the same time as having the ability to progress and play in a higher division.’’
Wigan Athletic is located in the top spots of the English League One and Gary Caldwell is hoping that their fine form continues on as promotion is the main objective of the team in this season and the Football League Championship is within their reach.
Even though Gary Caldwell signed these players only a few days ago, he is already thinking about which players to bring into the team next and he is targeting Sunderland’s Jordi Gomez. It’s believed that Wigan Athletic will attempt to sign the 30 year old Spanish midfielder during the summer transfer window.
