Sam Morsy signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract with Wigan Athletic

The Egypt international has agreed to a new deal that will keep him at the DW Stadium until the summer of 2021.

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

The 27-year-old joined the Latics in January 2016 and has continued to impress for the side featuring in over a century appearances.

�I am really pleased; it has been ongoing since the summer but with the change of ownership these things can take a little bit longer,� Morsy explained.

�I want to be a part of what the manager is trying to do here and with the new ownership I hope we can go from strength to strength.

�There was never any doubt in my mind because the manager wanted me to stay, the coaching staff trust me and there are a great set of players here � hopefully we can kick on now.� -Sam Morsy added @ Wigan Offical website interview.
