Everton's former England Under-21 international Luke Garbutt has signed on loan with Championship club Wigan until January 2.

The 23-year-old full-back, who was capped on 11 occasions by England Under-21s, has only made five senior appearances for the Toffees and spent last season with Fulham.

Injuries to Reece James and Andy Kellett have forced Latics manager Gary Caldwell to turn to the loan market and he has opted for Garbutt.
