Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has seen son James sign youth forms with Wigan Athletic.

Carragher posted a picture of the teenager penning the youth deal on Instagram, posting: “Proud of you son, well done."

The Latics' Academy is considered one of the brightest in the North West, with their development squad winning the Central League Cup last month with a 3-1 win over Fleetwood.

James did train with Liverpool's junior teams before moving onto the Latics.

It represents the next move in James' promising, fledgling football career as he looks to follow in the footsteps of his father and become a professional footballer.
