Wigan Athletic have completed the permanent signing of Ryan Trevitt from Brentford on a two-year contract. The 23-year-old midfielder, who made 14 appearances during his loan spell last season, becomes the club's eighth summer acquisition. Wigan finished 16th in League One last season with 56 points, 14 wins, 14 draws and 18 losses, scoring 49 goals and conceding 58 for a -9 goal difference, ending 47 points behind leaders Lincoln.
What does Trevitt bring to Wigan?
Trevitt, who made one Premier League appearance for Brentford, reunites with manager Gary Caldwell for the third time after previously working under him at Exeter City. The midfielder praised Caldwell's management style, saying, "I love playing for Gary. I know exactly what he wants from me on and off the pitch."
Why is this signing important?
With Wigan looking to improve after a challenging 2025-26 campaign, Trevitt's experience and familiarity with Caldwell's system could provide stability in midfield. His ability to express himself within a structured setup aligns with the manager's philosophy.
What’s next for Trevitt at Wigan?
Trevitt views this move as a fresh start, eager to regain match rhythm after an injury-hit season. He told the club website, "There's nothing better than playing football every day and having games week to week. I cannot wait to get back into that rhythm."
