Wigan Athletic beat off Championship interest for winger

The 23-year-old had also been courted by Blackpool and Sunderland.

But Latics got the deal over the line shortly before Thursday’s 11pm deadline.

London-born Scully represented England at Under-16, before switching allegiance to Ireland, for whom he won Under-21 honours.

He has signed a three-and-a-half year contract at the DW.

He takes the number of summer signings to five, after the arrivals of Ryan Nyambe, Nathan Broadhead, Ashley Fletcher and Rarmani Edmonds-Green.
