Dinis Rodrigues turns down Wigan Athletic

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Napoli keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Wigan Athletic make their move for Matty James

$20.0K on the table at Wrexham. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Farense tell Wigan Athletic: João Resende is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Grimsby Town join the queue for Harrison Bettoni

Add another name to the list: Grimsby Town have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Harrison Bettoni. The answer from Wigan Athletic has not changed — yet.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Sam Tickle signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Sam Tickle commits to Wigan Athletic for another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Wigan Athletic

Morgan Fox and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

A row about effort at Wigan Athletic

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Joseph Hungbo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Joseph Hungbo

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Joseph Hungbo, and the manager let it.

Looking ahead10 Aug 2026

A reunion for Dara Costelloe

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Bradford City in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Wigan Athletic say no — this time

The offer from Hamburger SV for Sam Tickle was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Finley Burns stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Finley Burns and Wigan Athletic agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

James Carragher in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Wigan Athletic this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Wigan Athletic try to borrow João Resende

Farense have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

A loan move for Dinis Rodrigues is in the works

Wigan Athletic have made the call to Napoli. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Wigan Athletic try to borrow Jofre Torrents

Ajax have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Joseph Hungbo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

No hiding place for Will Aimson

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Will Aimson, and the manager let it.

The clock runs on Finley Burns's contract

36 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.
