Lee Cattermole is delighted former Middlesbrough teammate Mido has joined him at Wigan Athletic.

Cattermole, who joined the Latics from Boro last summer, told the Wigan Evening Post: "I spoke with the gaffer on a few occasions about Mido before he brought him here.

"Steve Bruce asked me what he was like, and I could only say good things about him.

"Mido is a great lad who just wants to play football and score goals - you can see the work rate he puts in."
