Former defender David Unsworth is set to sign a twelve month contract with Burnley on Monday morning. How the Latics could have done with his presence at left back this weekend.

The 33 year old was released by Wigan at the end of last season, just days after scoring one of the most important goals in the club's history.

His departure came as a shock to many supporters and now with no recognised left back in the squad, the decision to release Unsworth looks all the more strange.

Clearly with plenty of football left in his legs, the Chorley born defender is set to join the ranks at Turf Moor for Championship side Burnley.
