Hendry Thomas Joins Wigan Athletic
July 2, 2009 | Written by : Jim Haines
Honduras international Hendry Thomas has signed a four year deal with Roberto Martinez’ Wigan Athletic.
Wigan were keen to sign the 24 year old midfielder last summer but the player did not meet the criteria to obtain a work permit.
Hendry will become the third Honduran to play for the Lancashire club. New Latics boss Roberto Martinez commented :
“Everyone knows how well Wilson and Maynor have done in the Premier League and it is no wonder there was lots of interest in Hendry, who comes from the same club as those two and has impressed”.
“What happened last season here was a shame but the player now has the chance to prove himself over here.
“He is a powerful figure in midfield, who can sit in front of the back four and destroy attacks, or can also come forward and score.”
