Wigan boss Paul Cook says Sam Morsy is one of the club’s main assets and key to what he hopes is a bright future for the club under their new owners.

Wigan Athletic captain Sam Morsy has extended his contract until 2021.

Morsy, who recently passed a century of appearances for Wigan, led the side to the Sky Bet League One title last season, taking them back to the second-tier of English football.

In a statement, Morsy said: "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.

"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."
