Revealed - Wigan Athletic's terrific trialist who cannot stop scoring goals!

Bettoni, 18, marked his arrival in the first-team set-up in style at the weekend with a brilliant brace off the bench in the 2-1 victory at Wimbledon.

But he's not even been the stand-out player in the Latics Under-21 side in recent weeks!

That mantle belongs to a big No.9, who's been playing as a 'trialist' to mask his identity, and who has been banging the goals in for fun.

After making his debut against Brentford in early September, the trialist announced his arrival with a four-goal salvo against Swansea City.

He didn't manage to net in his next five appearances, but in the last month he has gone absolutely crazy in front of goal.

In the 9-0 romp at Coventry on October 21, the trialist bagged four goals, before netting both in the 2-1 victory over Sheffield United at the beginning of this month.

After another hat-trick in the 4-1 triumph at Stoke on November 12, and he went one better by plundering four more in the 7-2 rout of Barnsley last week.

That makes it a quite incredible 17 goals in his 11 appearances in a Latics shirt - leading some fans to wonder as to his contract status.

Wigan Today can confirm the young man in question is Adam Moseley, who is on trial with the blessing of non-league outfit Runcorn Linnets.

The 20-year-old joined up with the Latics Academy at the start of the season, and has already agreed contract terms with the club regarding a permanent move.

However, with the transfer window currently closed, the deal can only be confirmed at the beginning of January.

For now, he remains under the Latics umbrella, as he continues his footballing education at Christopher Park.

Described by Runcorn insiders as a 'strong-running forward', Moseley is the second generation of his family to represent the Linnets.

Dad Mike starred for the club at a similar age, before joining Witton Albion, for whom he scored an impressive 162 goals in 389 games.
