Sam Morsy has extended his stay with English Championship side Wigan Athletic after signing a two-year contract.

Last season, the former Port Vale player helped the DW Stadium outfit clinch the League One title and earn promotion to the English Championship.

Reacting to the deal, Wigan coach Paul Cook told club website: “Samy is a really important player for the club and I know our supporters will be really pleased with this news.
