Chelsea youngster Scott Sinclair has joined Wigan Athletic on a season-long loan deal, the sixth team the 20-year-old will have spent temporary spells at.

The England Under-20 international started his career with Bristol Rovers, and made his first-team debut at the age of 15 before being snapped by Chelsea in 2005.

He has since been loaned out to Plymouth Argyle, QPR, Charlton Athletic, Crystal Palace and Birmingham City since January 2007.

Latics boss Roberto Martinez said of his latest capture: "Scott's a fantastic talent who can operate either up front or out wide and I'm delighted to have him join us.

"He'll certainly bring a lot of competitiveness to the team, and hopefully we can help him to continue progressing as a player."
