Wigan Athletic boss Steve Bruce has hinted he is ready to offer Henri Camara a second chance after the striker caught his eye in a pre-season friendly.

Camara, 31, failed to make an impression during a season-long loan at West Ham United last year.

Bruce admitted to being surprised that Camara returned to JJB Stadium for the start of pre-season training as he didn't realise the Senegal international was still under contract with the club.

But after scoring the first goal in Sunday's 3-0 victory over Austrian side FC Seit Veit, Bruce is ready to offer the well-travelled striker the chance to resurrect his Latics career.

"It's a difficult one regards Henri," he told the Wigan Evening Post.

"I have to be honest, I didn't realise he was coming back to us. I thought he had gone.

"But he's part of the squad and I'll sit down with him over the next few weeks to see what his plans are.

"He got 12 league goals in his first season here which takes some doing in the Premier League. That shows he has something.

"Henri took his goal very well and looked a handful. He's come back looking hungry and he's undoubtedly a talented player."
