Latics buy new training complex

Last updated : 19 February 2016 By Kieran Makin

Wigan Athletic have confirmed the purchase of Bolton Wanderers' Euxton training ground facilities.

Latics' first team will now train at the former practice base of their local rivals, whilst the academy side will move their sessions to Wigan's usual training ground Christopher Park.

Bolton are looking to sell on some club assets due to being £172.9 million in debt, but they are hopeful that former player Dean Holdsworth and his consortium can complete a takeover by the end of the weekend.

The Championship club will now use their Lostock facility as well as the Macron Stadium in order to let both their first team and reserve team train.
