Latics take Bent on loan

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Didier Zokora (L) holds Charlton striker Marcus Bent during a Premiership match in May 2007.
Wigan manager Chris Hutchings made Marcus Bent his ninth signing on Friday after securing a season-long loan deal for the Charlton striker.
Hutchings has completely overhauled the Latics' squad since replacing Paul Jewell at the end of last season and Bent's arrival will trigger the departure of striker Caleb Folan to Hull for one million pounds.
Wigan are the 10th club of Bent's career and Hutchings believes the former Everton forward's experience will be invaluable.
He said: "Marcus has played the majority of his career in the top flight, he's been there and done it, and knows how to look after himself at this level."
