Latics take on trialist
The Latics have taken on trialist Eddie Stanford, the ex-Coventry midfielder. Stanford was previously also with Tamworth and can also play in the left full back position as well as a defensive midfielder or regular left sided attacking midfielder. It was hoped that he would make his debut in last night's 6-0 reserve win over Rochdale at Rossendale but as he has been playing in Poland, for last season's league champions Legia Warsaw, they failed to gain the correct International clearance in time.
