Wait, don’t events like this generally occur in a player’s benefit year? Well, considering our current contract situation, Progress With Unity simply couldn’t take the chance of waiting another 12 months for Boycey’s big one-oh to tick around.

It’s not every day the Wigan Athletic Head of Media is asked to participate in small time internet podcasts.
