Marc Albrighton joins Wigan Athletic on loan

Marc Albrighton joins Wigan Athletic on loan

30 October 2013 - 16:08

Championship outfit Wigan Athletic have successfully completed the signing of Aston Villa's out of favour winger Marc Albrighton on loan.

  • Chelsea set to hold talks with £22m winger
  • Chelsea set for contract talks with £26m star

  • The talented 23-year-old became a hot shot at the Villans during Gerard Houllier's sole season at Villa Park, as he was called up to the England Under-21 squad in September 2010.



    Albrighton has failed to establish himself under manager Paul Lambert, and has therefore made a temporary loan move to the Latics with Scottish International Shaun Maloney facing an extend spell in the sidelines having suffered a hip injury.



    "Marc has shown what an outstanding player he is time and again in the Premier League, and he is someone I have tried to sign in the past, so I'm delighted to bring him on board to strengthen our squad," Wigan manager Owen Coyle said.
