Wigan Athletic confirm signing of Liam Ridgewell on six-week loan

Wigan Athletic confirm the arrival of Liam Ridgewell from MLS side Portland Timbers on a six-week loan.

Wigan Athletic have confirmed that defender Liam Ridgewell has agreed a six-week loan deal from MLS side Portland Timbers.

The 30-year-old, who has played for Aston Villa, Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion during his career, moved to the United States last summer.

Wigan manager Malky Mackay told the club's official website: "As soon as we found out Liam was a possibility, we moved quickly. We have him until the start of the MLS season in mid-February and hopefully we can make good use of his experience in that time.

"He is a top pro who has spent the majority of his career in the Premier League but he also knows this league inside out having earned promotion with Birmingham and he will add the kind of experience that will be crucial to us at this time."

Ridgewell made 14 appearances for the Timbers last season and scored two goals.
