Irish star Sammon ‘delighted’ at Wigan debut

CONOR SAMMON was delighted to finally get on the pitch for Wigan on Saturday and says there is a lot more to come as the side get ready for a crucial few months of Barclays Premier league football.

Speaking after the disappointing 1-0 defeat against Manchester City, the Irish U21 international could not hide his delight at tasting his first slice of first team action since arriving from Kilmarnock in January: “I am delighted to finally make my debut (today),’’ Sammon said. “It’s been a long time coming since I arrived at the club.

“The manager has been very patient with me since I arrived and has let me settle in to get a good few weeks of training under my belt and I feel it’s definitely helped me.”
