Midfielder Makes League One Switch
Stockport County midfielder Owen Moxon has joined Wigan Athletic on loan until the end of the season, providing a crucial midfield boost for the struggling League One side. The 27-year-old has made 27 appearances for the Hatters this season, with his most recent appearance coming against Harrogate Town in the EFL Trophy last week.
Why This Move Matters
The loan transfer comes at a critical time for Wigan Athletic, who are battling to maintain their League One status. He joins a Latics side who are just one point above the League One relegation zone, making Moxon’s experience and midfield capabilities vital for their survival campaign. The timing of the move, completed in January 2026, gives Wigan half a season to utilise the midfielder’s talents in their fight against relegation.
Player’s Career Journey
Moxon brings valuable experience to his new temporary home. Moxon began his career at Queen of the South before moving to Annan Athletic, where he made 116 league appearances. Since joining Stockport County in February last year, he has accumulated 46 appearances for the club, demonstrating his reliability and consistency in English football’s lower leagues.
Looking Ahead
The midfielder expressed enthusiasm about his new challenge. He stated that after speaking with the head coach and contacts at the club, he believes the move aligns well with his career ambitions. With the transfer window only halfway through, Moxon’s early arrival allows him to integrate quickly into the squad and make an immediate impact. For Wigan Athletic supporters, this loan signing represents hope in their battle to remain in League One, whilst Moxon seeks regular first-team football to continue his development at a crucial stage of the season.
