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.
