Whether the deal was arranged to let Dinning clear his head and get some space away from Wigan is unknown, but the deal was not done for the gain of Jamie Lawrence who only made two substitute appearences during his time here.
The Latics midfielder has been linked with gambling and drinking problems aswell as plenty of rifts with boss Jewell, maybe their time apart has helped bridge the gap.
Dinning is likely to be in the squad for Saturday's away trip to Crewe.
