Ex-Rangers winger Jordan Jones leaves club just 13 days after signing contract

Former Rangers and Kilmarnock winger Jordan Jones has left Wigan Athletic just 13 days after signing a deal at the club.

The 29-year-old agreed a short-term deal at Wigan on August 9 as Shaun Maloney bolstered his attacking options.

The ex-St Mirren player was drafted back into the club after initially leaving at the end of his contract at the end of last season.

But injury issues prompted Maloney to hand the winger a new short-term contract as cover for the Sky Bet League One opening fixtures.

Jones came off the bench against Charlton and Reading as well as against Barnsley in the Carabao Cup but has now departed the club less than two weeks after signing.

He made a total of 53 appearances for the club across his time at Wigan. Jones has now left Wigan again by mutual consent.

"Jones, 29, re-joined Latics ahead of the start of the 2024/25 Sky Bet League One campaign, signing a short-term contract to help Shaun Maloney’s men following unfortunate injuries to several forward players. 

"The winger featured off the bench in both of Latics’ league fixtures against Charlton Athletic and Reading as well as the Carabao Cup fixture against Barnsley.

"Jordan made a total of 53 appearances for the Club over two spells and we wish him all the best for the future."

Jones posted on social media: "Thankyou for everything @LaticsOfficial"
