I'm glad I stayed at Wigan
MAX Power will think long and hard before being seduced by promises of greener pastures in the future.
After a turbulent summer when the midfielder angled for a move away from Wigan, was made to train away from the first-team squad by manager Paul Cook and then found himself on the transfer list, Power began the season kicking his heels at home as his teammates launched their bid to bounce straight back up from League One.
The 24-year-old, who had previously been linked with Ipswich, Brentford and Sheffield Wednesday, thought he would be moving to a Championship club.
But the move never materialised and he was left to rebuild bridges burned by his flirtation with a wish to get away.
Regular
The former Tranmere player was booed by Wigan supporters in September and didn’t make his first start of the season until the side’s win at Scunthorpe in October. Now, wiser for the experience, Power is committed to making up for the past.
