Jarrett lands Latics deal

23 July 2010 12:31
Oldham boss Paul Dickov has handed midfielder Jason Jarrett a six-month contract following his impressive trial at the club. The 30-year-old, who had a 15-match loan spell with the Latics in 2007/08, has made an outstanding impact during pre-season. He has illustrated his versatility by deputising for injured captain Sean Gregan at centre-back, earning himself a deal which could be extended. Dickov said: "Jason has been fantastic since joining us initially on trial. "I cannot speak too highly of Jason's attitude, ability and fitness which is all you can ask for from a player. "He has been offered a short-term deal but, if he continues as he has done so far, it will be extended."
