New Wigan boss Roberto Martinez has gone back to Swansea for another member of his old backroom team.
Physio Richie Evans was expected to remain at the Liberty Stadium after spending the last 10 years in south Wales.
However, Evans has decided to link up with Martinez once more, following the paths of Graeme Jones and Kevin Reeves, who have already made the move north.

No Whelan played for Blackburn he is not a blackburn fan he is just fond of them thats all.
He was born a pie eater and will carry on supporting Wigan Athletic look I can even spell lol.
Now your talking sense instead of a hurt person you are coming across as talking sense.
If you look at our record of keeping players and managers it isn't good but we have been in the premier league now for 4 seasons. We have seen alot bigger teams come and go it is just people see wigan as a joke yet we are the ones up there with the big clubs.
Parents with sense of humour called me Sue mate,no hard feelings towards Martinez,did a fine job for the Jacks. Just be wary if he starts bandying the word loyalty around, only January he said was forced out as a player and the board would have to do the same again as a manager. Always bigger fish to fry, don't be surprised if he's back in Spain soon, or Scotland(wife's a sweaty),he's welcome to anyone in the side so long as he remembers the values he put on their heads previously.Look forward to a cup draw against Wigan in the north west, know there'll be plenty of tickets available-watch the Warriors gates soar as footie team slips back where they came from as Whelan puts the squeeze on-he's a businessman mate,and allegedly a Blackburn fan.
Sue.Williams68 your either one frustrated Housewife or a boy named Sue either way get over it.
You should look a bit closer to home why is your chairman selling your staff and players?
He is not trying very hard to keep your players its not as if we are coming in and bashing your chairman over the head and robbing them, he is getting damn good money for all that he lets go.
well you might as well sell what you can swansea you wont need them back in div 1,enjoy your short time in the championship.
FOR SALE : ONLY TO SPANIARDS LIVING IN SUNNY WIGAN
One set of goals(only one set of nets for the away team to attack)
One mascot-giant swan (it's not really a swan Roberto,it's a man in a costume and we've got a few spares)
One statue of true football legend-Ivor Allchurch,money to build new one available
All available for special offer today only of whatever you get in return for players sold between now and season start,be genuinely interested to see if Roberto can replace names with unknowns,didn't let Swans down must be said.
Can't have:Chairman who puts club first not looking to recover losses from credit crunch by selling best players,Rossi's chip shop (don't get too excited pie eaters sure you'll be eating them next year),the 5000 fans you'll need next year if you come down.
Swansea supporters you think that you have the sole right to everything, but what you don't realise is that people in your team player and backroom staff, if they have the chance to play in the Premiership.
Then they are going to want to leave and all the @#$% you do will not save your team from being torn apart.
It is something that Wigan is constantly having to put up with, even before we got up into the premiership.
So stop feeling sorry for yourselves and get a life. No doubt your Chairman is going to upset the teams around you with all that money you have sponged out of Wigan but hey thats football.
I must say this though I do wish Swansea all the best for the future.
It would be nice to see you in the premiership sometime GOOD LUCK
Who says Swansea will stay in the Championship ? You lot might be drinking Coca Cola................!
what eat the sheep and spoil all your fun baaaaaa no way taffy
HOT OFF THE PRESS
News finally reaches Wigan that there are sheep in Wales.Congratulations for resorting to that AUDREYG,that's the first reference I've heard where the Welsh are linked with sheep,just remember we s**g them,you eat them,look forward to seeing you in the Championship next year (we know we've found our level,realists the Welsh),no doubt your fans will think they're the first to call us sheeps***gers,get ready for one nil to the sheeps***gers.Good luck to Roberto,think he might need it.
at least lawnmowers are used on the wigan pitch and not the sheep chewing lumps out of it
Any truth in rumour Wigan have offered £2 million for Swansea's ballboys? That's the rumour doing the rounds in sunny Swansea,but our chairman insisting they can't leave unless we get £3 million for the corner flags as well.No offers necessary for the pitch ,you'd never afford it,Martinez's passing game might come unstuck on that cabbage patch you've got,don't buy any ball players until the chairmen gets the cheque book out for some grass seed.Sousa might just be the man for the job,got a funny feeling we'll see you in the Championship next year,sure you'll have plenty of tickets for away fans when all your Utd and Liverpool fans drift away.
i wish swansea fans could just here themselves and other pillocks from london whose team never win nothing, who has martinez taken from you his backroom staff which every manager does when they move.a player you once had on loan,but could not afford.and the physio who has been there 10 years.but who knows a sinking ship when he sees it
Recently, I discovered a hot place -- Tallfinder Co m- -- where many sexy singles who like sports and chatting- there. I'm an open minded girl from UK, I also like- discuss sports and love with handsome guys on it.
Roberto Martinez @#$% hole
why not just rename swansea wigan as it seems he wants to take the lot if he likes swansea so much why he leave, martinez has no honour and deserves to get relegated with wigan and thats from a gunner good luck swansea
I understand Martinez is also in talks with the lady cleaner who did his room at the Liberty Stadium but she is unwilling to go to Wigan. Something about honour....
jonnymernagh, well according to our local evening post he is coming back for 'one or two' of your best players as well lol. Go Martinez !!! ;o)
Do you not realise there are no manners in the Premiership - Dog eat Dog
MARTINEZ YOU NAUGHTY @#$% ! you claimed it would not be "honourable" to go in for the swansea players ... But i suppose it is fine to poach all our backroom staff !
Your a disgrace Roberto , Keep your mouth shut in future if you have no intentions of keeping to your word !
