Latics striker Keigan Parker has joined local neighbours Bury FC on a month's loan deal.

The pacy frontman agreed on the move to Gigg Lane yesterday after talks with Athletic manager Dave Penney.

Parker has made 29 appearances for Latics this season, scoring two goals.

It is hoped the loan deal will give Keigan much needed games and a boost in his confidence before returning to Boundary Park in mid-April.
