Wigan Athletic confirm Rotherham United defender rejoins club on loan until end of season

Curtis Tilt has rejoined Wigan Athletic on loan until the end of the season.

The 29-year-old spent the first half of the season at the DW Stadium, featuring 13 times after joining on a temporary basis from Rotherham United.

Following a brief return to the Millers, Tilt is now back with Latics and he told the club website he was delighted to be back with Leam Richardson and the team.

“I have stayed in touch with Leam over the last few weeks and have continued to assess the situation,” Tilt explained.

“The lads are great here – it’s a good dressing room – and now I want to help to steady the ship and get the team out of the relegation zone.

“We had good momentum going into the New Year and since then there has been a couple of ins and outs, so the immediate aim is to get back integrated into the group and to lift us out of the relegation zone.

“It is nice to feel wanted; I have seen on Twitter and other social media platforms the comments from Wigan fans and obviously it’s great when you know they want you to come and play for their club.

“I am fit and ready; we actually had some really intense training back at Rotherham so I am coming back fit – even without the games – so I am ready to go and just want to help the team now.”
