Keeper reveals Latics deal

Keeper reveals Latics deal

Ghana goalkeeper Richard Kingson has revealed he is hopeful of rejoining Steve Bruce at Wigan Athletic.

Bruce initially brought the 30-year-old shot-stopper to English football when he was manager of Birmingham City.

The Blues handed the keeper a free transfer last month after he had made only three first-team appearances, but now Kingson claims he is close to sealing a move to the JJB Stadium.

He would compete with veteran Mike Pollitt to provide back-up for regular number one Chris Kirkland with the Latics.

"Very soon I will be back in action. I am hoping the move goes through to Wigan Athletic," Kingson revealed.

"Steve Bruce has shown a lot of faith in me. At Birmingham he was good to me maybe because I showed him I am a true professional. But I made mistakes in England and have learned from them.

"I am in no doubt that if I get my chance again I will prove the first was just a minor dip and not the real me."
