Josip Skoko, 32, will not have his Wigan Athletic contract renewed and will have to leave English football as the terms of his work permit will not allow a move.

Skoko has been a good servant to the Latics but will not have his contract renewed by Steve Bruce.

The 32 year old midfielder will now be forced to move elsewhere in Europe as he no longer plays internationally for Australia.

Skoko said: "I've not played enough games to get the new deal and I've stopped playing for Australia, so if I want to change clubs I have a problem."

Certainly Latics fans will wish Josip all the best for the future after offering his all to the cause during his time with the club.
