Wigan Athletic boss Steve Bruce is delighted to have signed Deportivo Olimpia fullback Maynor Figueroa to a new loan deal.

"It has been another complicated one, we don't seem to pick easy ones at this club. But it's all been resolved satisfactorily," Bruce told the Wigan Evening Post.

"Maynor waited for his chance and did very well when it came last season. He has the potential to do well in England, he has a fantastic attitude in training and he has shown now that he is not fazed by the Premier League.

"I'm delighted he's with us for another few months at least, and hopefully longer."

Figueroa added: "I am very happy to stay. I want to make a career in England, which is why I have tried so hard when I am here.

"This is the best league in the world and I'm grateful that Wigan have given me the chance to prove myself. Now I want to repay that faith by performing for the team."
