Figueroa signs long-term deal with Wigan

On-loan Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa has penned a long-term contract which will see him remain at JJB Stadium for the next three-and-a-half years.

The 25-year old left-back has been on loan from Honduran club Deportivo Olimpia but has agreed to terms with the Latics after starting every Premier League game this season.

"To play in the Premier League has always been a dream for me and I am really happy that Wigan have offered me the chance to stay here," Figueroa said.

"I have had to take every stage as it comes this last 12 months but thankfully it has gone okay for me.

"Now I look forward to being a Wigan player for the next few seasons. I want to thank Steve Bruce for having faith in me and I hope I can repay him by serving the club to the best of my abilities during my time here."
