Gerrard back

Last updated : 14 October 2016 By Dave Moore

Anthony Gerrard is back training with the Latics but the manager is clear that it is an informal arrangement although he also stressed that he needs to strengthen his defence.


Stephen Robinson said, "Anthony hasn't trained with a club for three or four months now and is working his way up to fitness by his own admission. We are all well aware of what he brought last year when he was here but he is way off being able to play yet. He has been brought in so that we can help him out in getting up to speed. We will see where he is after that. Is a defender a priority at the moment? Probably not, though we could do with cover back there. At this stage, there is no commitment."
