He struggled to get enough playing time with the Rams and will be looking for a lot more action with Wigan for the rest of the term.

The move is a good one for Dowell and hopefully, he’ll get a better chance of showing what he’s capable of at Wigan.

The Derby loan spell didn’t work out as well as planned but this is another opportunity for him in a really competitive league.

Best of luck, Kieran!
