Wigan sign Warnock on loan

County defender Stephen has swapped one promotion race for another by moving to Athletic on loan, until the end of the season.

The 34-year-old had been the preferred choice at left-back for Derby under former head coach making 22 appearances, but is yet to feature for the under Darren Wassall.

Warnock joins Wigan four points off 1st spot in the table and unbeaten in 14 league matches. Boss was hopeful Warnock could add to the Latics momentum with Chris McCann missing the next two games.

“We are struggling a little on the left side of defence with Chris McCann now suspended for two games, we don’t know the time scale on Reece James yet and the opportunity to bring in a player with his quality and experience is a great signing for the rest of season. When we found out Stephen was available it really was a no brainer,” the Scot told the club’s website.

Caldwell added: “He has vast experience having played extensively at the very top level, but he also has great League experience in recent years and I think he will really help the squad at a vital time of the season.”

Warnock will be available to face relegation strugglers United on Saturday, as the Latics try to hunt down Albion atop the League One table.
