Byfield told the official Latics website, "My main aim was always to stay here at Boundary Park for another month and now I want to weigh in with a few goals. I've not been on the losing side yet so hopefully that's a good omen and I can help the lads to get into an even better position. Playing up front with Lee Hughes has been an absolute joy and I feel like I'm getting sharper and sharper the more matches I play."
"I missed out on pre-season and was just finding my feet when the toe injury put me back. I feel good again now after training and playing again. I didn't want the loan spell to end and I'm delighted to re-sign. The gaffer's been brilliant, to be honest and I've enjoyed every minute. He is such an honest guy and likes to see the game played the way I like to play it."
