Wigan Athletic sign Manchester United defender Reece James on three-year deal

League One outfit Wigan Athletic announce the signing of 21-year-old Manchester United defender Reece James on a three-year deal.

League One side Wigan Athletic have confirmed the signing of Manchester United defender Reece James for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old has put pen to paper on a three-year deal at the DW Stadium following loan spells at Rotherham United and Huddersfield Town last season.

"Reece is a young player with a bright future. He has been schooled by one of the best academies around and has impressed both at Under-21 level and whilst on loan," Wigan boss Gary Caldwell told the club's official website.

"He is another who will strengthen competition on that left side, and has played as a full-back, or in a wing back role. Once again, there were clubs after him so we're delighted to add him to the squad."

Reece originally joined United in 2012 having spent time at Preston North End and Blackburn Rovers.
