Defender Richie Byrne has signed a new short-term contract to keep him at Boundary Park for a second month. Byrne is likely to keep his place in the team for Sunday's home game with Hereford United as Latics captain Sean Gregan is still banned. The 27-year-old should play alongside Reuben Hazell in the middle of the defence.
