OFFICIAL - Reece Wabara signs on loan

Seems we have a new right back.

Wabara has tweeted how pleased he is to have signed for us and his tweet has been retweeted by Lee Anderson (Ken's son) so I guess there most be something in it.

Wabara played the second half of last season for Wigan after leaving Barnsley - and was good enough to make it into the Football Leagues team of last season for this division.

He is a free agent following Wigan not signing him at the end of the season and the only clue we have why that might be is a tweet he made some time previous about how he thought he wasn't offered the value he thought he was worth - or something like that.

It was him or the experienced Bulgarian but I'm glad Parky thinks he's good enough as we'll probably be better off with the younger man in the long term.

At least spell his name right.

Sorry - done it now thanks!

I meant change it to "lightweight ponce" as we all know that's what he'll be.

WANDERERS have confirmed the signing of former Manchester City and Wigan Athletic defender Reece Wabara on a short-term deal.

The 25-year-old right-back has been training at Lostock for the last couple of weeks in the hope of earning a contract.

Wabara started his career at City, and made his debut against Wanderers as the club sealed Champions League football at the Reebok with a 2-0 win in 2011 under the guidance of Roberto Mancini.

He had loan spells at Ipswich, Oldham, Blackpool and Doncaster before signing a permanent deal with the South Yorkshire club in August 2013.

He moved on to Barnsley and then Wigan – helping the Latics back into the Championship at the first time of asking last season.

Wabara had a trial at Leeds United in the summer and has also been strongly linked with a return to the DW Stadium.

He has represented England at youth level and played in the Under-29 World Cup in 2011.

But after Lawrie Wilson was ruled out for the rest of the season with a torn hamstring tendon, Phil Parkinson brought him in for cover.
