Josh Windass joins Wigan Athletic from Rangers

Wigan Athletic announce the signing of striker Josh Windass from Rangers on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Wigan Athletic have announced the capture of striker Josh Windass from Rangers on a three-year deal.

The 24-year-old returns to England after two years north of the border, moving to Ibrox from Accrington Stanley in the summer of 2016 after having agreed a pre-contract in January.

Windass played 73 times for Rangers, scoring 19 goals in total, and had featured in all three of their Europa League clashes this season.

During the 2017-18 campaign, Windass made 41 appearances for Gers and netted 18 goals, finishing the season as the club's joint top scorer alongside Alfredo Morelos.

"It's been a strange day," Windass told the official Wigan website. "I woke up this morning to get to Ibrox to get on the coach to play in the game tonight and then next minute I get a phone call and I'm here to do a medical.

"It wasn't an easy decision to make to be honest because I've been playing a lot at Rangers, but I spoke to the manager this morning when I got the call and I felt the best thing was to come here to try and prove myself and get this team up the league."

Wigan were promoted from League One last season and have won their first Championship game of the campaign, running out 3-2 winners over Sheffield Wednesday at the DW Stadium.
