Wigan Athletic sign left-back Aaron Taylor-Sinclair from Partick Thistle

Wigan Athletic have announced the signing of left-back Aaron Taylor-Sinclair from Partick Thistle.

The 23-year-old, who leaves Partick on a free transfer, has agreed to a three-year contract with the Latics.

"I'm leaving some great friends behind, and a superb set of supporters that I'll never forget," Taylor-Sinclair told Wigan's website.

"But when the opportunity to come to Wigan came up, I was very interested, and I feel this is the next step in my career."

After joining Partick from Montrose in 2011, Taylor-Sinclair went on to make over 100 appearances for the Scottish club.

He is Wigan's second signing of the summer after yesterday's capture of another left-back, Andrew Taylor, from Cardiff City.
