Defender leaves Celtic for undisclosed fee

Celtic defender Gary Caldwell has completed a move to English Premier League side Wigan Athletic, after signing a four and a half year deal for an undisclosed fee.

The former Hibs centre-back’s contract was due to expire at the end of the season, and with the player and the club unable to agree on a new deal, Celtic have decided to cash in on the Scotland international.

Caldwell said of the move:

"The manager made it quite clear what his ambitions are for this club and how much he wanted to bring me here,

"To play in the Premier League has always been an ambition of mine but I know how tough it's going to be to get in the side and I need to focus on winning a place and doing the best I can for my new club.

"It's a massive wrench for me to leave a club like Celtic but I want to thank the club and all the fans for the support they've given me in my time there.

"But I'm a Wigan player now and I can't wait to get started in the Premier League."

Caldwell’s first match for Wigan will be against Wolves on Saturday, where the Latics are 9/4 (SkyBet) to pick up all three points
