1 February - Joe Adams joins Wigan Athletic

Joe Adams has signed a professional contract with League One promotion candidates, Wigan Athletic. The club is delighted for Joe, who joined us in the summer on trial and it became instantly apparent that he was a special talent who would soon be playing at a higher level.   After a week long trial at Wigan, they were very impressed and offered him an 18 month contract with an option for another year.   The 17 year old put pen to paper and then scored on his debut for Wigan U18's.

Dave Diaper said : “Joe is a great character. He came to us in pre-season and as soon as we started the training session, it was apparent that he was very good technically.

“He’s a lovely lad and thoroughly deserves this opportunity to progress and I think Wigan is a great platform to do that. He’s a very grounded player and he’s like a sponge with how he’s willing to learn and listen.

“His progress was always going to be beyond our club. We’d just like to wish him all the best and we’re going to keep track of his progress. I expect so much great things from him, and I’m sure he’s going to be working hard to that affect, and I know Wigan will be a very important part of his journey.”

Further proof that playing for Sholing gets you noticed by scouts and professional clubs.  Everyone at the club wishes Joe all the best and we look forward to following his progress.
