Figueroa is Bruce's Mayn man

Wigan have announced the signing of Honduras left-back Maynor Figueroa on loan until the end of the season, subject to international clearance.

Figueroa, 24, arrives from Deportivo Olimpia – the club from which Wigan signed Wilson Palacios – following a three-week trial with the Latics.

Wigan boss Steve Bruce told the club’s website, www.wiganlatics.co.uk: “He’s strong, he’s quick, he has a superb left foot and I think he has the attributes to adapt to the English game.

“He’s shown his desire to be with us by being away from his family all over Christmas and has shown plenty of potential in training.”
