Wigan Athletic have snapped up Newcastle defender Kell Watts.

Watts joins Wigan on a season-long loan, having spent the 2021/22 season with the Latics.

"Last time I was here it felt like home so it's nice to be back," Watts said.

"Last time I was here, I created memories that will last my whole career, and I'm wanting to make more memories in a Wigan shirt now."

Wigan boss Shaun Maloney said: "A left-sided centre-back is a difficult profile to get, so he's a really positive signing for us.

"Off the pitch, he's the right type of character that we need, and he was extremely popular amongst staff and previous players during his last loan here."
