Gary Roberts leaves Wigan Athletic after three seasons
- Published
Veteran Gary Roberts has left League One side Wigan Athletic, blaming the club's financial problems for his exit.
The midfielder signed a new short-term deal in the close season and played three times this term, with his last appearance coming in the 3-2 home loss to Gillingham on 19 September.
But with the Latics in administration and unable to sign players, Roberts, 36, said he is looking for a new club.
He said on Twitter: , external"I have loved every minute of playing for the club."
The Latics were relegated to League One last season following a 12-point deduction for going into administration.
Roberts added: "It's been heartbreaking to see what's happened to the club and squad over the last few months...stick together and keep fighting for your club."
Roberts joined the Latics - the eighth club of his career - on a free transfer in August 2017 and played 66 games, scoring three goals.
