Wigan Athletic duo David Perkins and Adam Le Fondre attended a Train With Latics session ran by the Community Trust at the Wigan Youth Zone on Tuesday afternoon.

The pair, who also played together at Rochdale earlier in their career, took part in a session ran by one of the young coaches, who was under assessment from Education Officer Liam Sealey, as the Trust continues to offer opportunities to young people in the form of coaching as well as general activity.

The players met the new intake of coaches on the Train with Latics course. Train with Latics is a Level 2 study group with 12 learners currently enrolled. They are working towards a Level 2 certificate in the principles of coaching and an FA Level 1 coaching badge.

Learners also get the opportunity to coach their peers regularly at Wigan Youth Zone and will be going into primary schools coaching after October half term as part of their development.
