Athletic have signed Jordan Robertson on a one month loan from Sheffield United. The 20 year old signed just two hours before the kick off against Swindon Town and he made his debut as a substitute for the final 17 minutes of the 2-2 draw. Robertson has been on loan with Dundee United for five months and the Latics manager was pleased with the experience that he gained in the Scottish Premier League.

Sheridan told Latics World, "Jordan's only a kid but he did very well for Dundee United in a tough league. He was on the bench because he had actually trained at Sheffield United this morning and had a hard session. It was difficult for Jordan when he came on because he's only just arrived, but he's got a lovely touch and awareness and he'll do well for us. We'll look after him while he's here and hopefully he will contribute a few goals."
