Tunnicliffe joins Wigan on loan from Fulham

Fulham midfielder Ryan Tunnicliffe has joined Wigan Athletic on loan until the end of the season.

The 24-year-old has made only seven appearances for the Whites this season, having been in and out of the team ever since joining from Manchester United in 2014.

It is his second loan spell at Wigan, having made five appearances for the Latics during the latter part of the 2013-14 campaign.

He also spent a brief period at Blackburn Rovers in the following season.

Tunnicliffe could make his second debut for Wigan at home to Fulham’s rivals Brentford in Saturday’s Championship game.
