Wigan duo pen new deals

Wigan defenders Titus Bramble and Emmerson Boyce have committed their futures to the club by signing new contract extensions. The pair are both now tied to the Latics until 2012 with new boss Roberto Martinez happy to sanction deals which were put in place at the end of last season. Martinez told the club's official website: "When you look at the performances of the two players over recent seasons it's a great reward from the club to offer them contract extensions." He added: "They're real ambassadors for the club and great professionals who give you a good sense of continuity and competitiveness. "They offer stability, set themselves high standards and are excellent examples to follow. "Both are at a great moment in their careers and I think they're best years are still to come, so we're very lucky to have players of that calibre."
