Academy graduate Aaron Atkinson has moved to Barnsley for an undisclosed compensation fee and package.
The 18-year-old midfielder, who completed his scholarship during the last two seasons at Boundary Park, joins the U21 set-up at Oakwell after an agreement was reached between the clubs.
Aaron has been with Latics since signing as an U15 from Blackburn Rovers, progressing through the academy and continuing his development in the Youth Team.
On behalf of everyone at the club and within the academy, we’d like to wish Aaron all the best for his future career.
