Ireland underage star Jack Byrne signs Oldham Athletic loan

He was one of three players sent to train with the U18 squad last month by Wigan manager Paul Cook.

Ireland underage star Jack Byrne has signed a four-month loan deal with Oldham Athletic in a bid for more first-team football, writes Stephen Barry.

Byrne signed for Wigan Athletic from Manchester City on last January’s transfer deadline day, but has only made two substitute appearances for the Latics since then.
