Craig Davies has re-joined the Latics. The 31-year-old striker has signed a two-year deal to hook up with John Sheridan again, instead of staying at Scunthorpe United.
Davies said, “I have a decent relationship with the manager and he's a good guy. There wasn't too much to think about, to be honest. I did well under him last time. I know what he's about and he knows what I'm about, so hopefully he can bring the best out of me again. I can still hear the manager in my head from six years ago! But I don't mind when managers are like that, as long as they get the best out of me.”
“It was a strong possibility, to be fair but I made my decision to come back here. I decided straight after coming back from holiday, on Wednesday. There were one or two bits of interest before I went away, but Scunthorpe was the one I was looking at. I wish everyone the best there, as it's a good club. I want to crack on here now. I want a good pre-season and to get some games under my belt in the summer to bring the form back that has made me do well at certain times in my career. I am 31, but I am looking after myself better than I was at 21 or 25. I am learning a lot more about myself as I get older, so I don't see why I can't get that form back. There have been a lot of ups and downs, some good times and some low times. But it is a learning curve. I am just looking forward to the season ahead.”
