Exeter City can confirm that defender Will Aimson has signed for Wigan Athletic for an undisclosed fee.
Will joined the Grecians in January 2023 from Bolton Wanderers and would go on to make 61 appearances in red and white, scoring four goals and providing two assists.
Speaking about Will’s departure, manager Gary Caldwell said: “Will first wanted to leave the club in January after a difficult period on the pitch, but we managed to support him through that difficult time. Regrettably his stance hasn’t changed this summer. Wigan have pursued him throughout the window against my wishes, which has unsettled the player again and forced my hand.
“With one-year left on his contract we are reluctant to let him go, but it is crucial to our team philosophy that every player is 100% committed to our objectives.
“This is purely a football decision and falls in line with the club’s recruitment strategy. An offer has been made that presents a significant return on the club’s investment in Will, and we have therefore decided it’s in everyone’s best interests to move on.
Everyone at the club thanks Will for his contributions and wishes him all the very best in his future career.
