Jamie Carragher's son James has signed his first professional contract with Wigan, with his father taking to Twitter to congratulate him on the news.
The 18-year-old suffered a setback in 2017 when he was released by Liverpool, the club where Jamie became a legend after racking up a mammoth 737 appearances in all competitions across 17 years.
However, the centre back has gone from strength to strength at the Latics, captaining the Under-18 side to glory last season in the Professional Development League.
Well done son, very proud of you ¿¿¿¿¿¿

He has been involved with Leam Richardson's side during pre-season and will hope to make his first-team debut in the upcoming League One campaign as the side look to stave off the threat of relegation after a narrow escape in 2020-21.
