Wigan trio James McCarthy, Ben Watson and Emmerson Boyce have signed new deals that will keep them at the DW Stadium for the foreseeable future. Young midfielder McCarthy, considered as one of Wigan’s best young talents, has agreed a five year deal despite reports of interest from the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool in the summer.
Midfielder Ben Watson, who scored on the opening day of the season against Norwich but missed a penalty against Swansea a few days ago, has put pen to paper a fresh three year deal. Defender Boyce, who has been with the Latics since 2006, has penned a shorter two year contract.
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez said he was pleased to have the three commit their future to the Latics and added that they were working on securing new deals for a few other players as well.
