Wigan re-sign Liverpool defender Chambers on loan

Luke Chambers made 18 appearances during a loan spell with Wigan last season

Wigan Athletic have re-signed Liverpool defender Luke Chambers on a season-long loan.

The 20-year-old ended last season on loan with the League One side and scored once in 18 appearances.

He has played four times for the Reds and featured for them in their pre-season tour in United States.

"The style of football that we play is the best step for my development," he told Wigan's website.

“I love everything about the club - the fans, my team-mates, the manager and the backroom staff - and it was an easy choice.

"It’s a really exciting project for the season and hopefully we can push on for promotion."
