Wigan Athletic hotshot reveals 'target' is in sight

Stephen Humphrys has rediscovered his scoring touch this term

Stephen Humphrys insists he's 'on track' to hit his own goal target at Wigan Athletic.

The 26-year-old hit his ninth goal of the season last weekend in the FA Cup victory at York, which set up a round-three tie against Manchester United at the DW next month.

He's already within three of his best ever tally of 12, achieved during his last season with Rochdale in 2020-21.

And with Latics flying of late after a difficult period in between international breaks, Humphrys is determined to make hay while the sun is figuratively shining.

“It’s been an up and down season," he acknowledged. "We started off well and then had a bit of a dip in form.

"We had to find our feet again, and we’ve been happy with how we’ve been performing lately.

"We’ve managed to overcome the eight-point deduction ahead of schedule, and progress in both the FA Cup and EFL Trophy.
