Timbers on Loan: Liam Ridgewell makes home debut for Wigan Athletic

Liam Ridgwell, Wigan, 1.17.15

Portland Timbers defender Liam Ridgwell, on loan with English Championship side Wigan Athletic, made his second straight start for the Latics in their 1-1 draw with Blackburn on Saturday.

Playing the full 90 in a hard-fought Lancashire derby, Ridgewell helped the home side fight back in the second half. After going down to the Rovers early in the 15th minute, forward James McClean scored a 63rd minute equalizer to earn a much needed point.

Wigan next hosts Huddersfield Town this Saturday at DW Stadium.
