Much like Peter Aylmer, Josh Sumner signed for Latics after leaving the Liverpool Academy at the end of the 2011-12 season.
Sumner made a solid impact in the final two games of the Barclays Premier Reserve League 2011-12 and earned himself a place in the Under 21s for 2012-13.
The midfielder has impressed so far and in the 2012-13 pre-season he was a stand-out player in the 2-2 draw with Stockport County, a game which saw him get on the score sheet as well.
