9 Nathan Ellington

Nathan Ellington
He has not failed to live up to that price tag scoring 22 goals in his first full season with Wigan.

He has become a popular player with the fans after his hat-trick against West Brom in the Worthington Cup.

Not the tallest of strikers but he certainly has enough pace, strength and skill to trouble most defences.

I certainly wouldn't bet against another terrific season next year if he can recover fully from the shoulder operation he has had recently.

Ellington will be a key player in our success or dare I say it failure next season. More likely to be the former.
