Liam Ridgewell, Wigan @ Ipswich, 1.31.15

Portland Timbers on-loan defender Liam Ridgewell played his final game with Wigan Athletic Wednesday as the Latics lost 3-0 to Nottingham Forest in the English Championship. Ridgewell played the full 90 for Malky Mackay's side at Forest's City Ground field. Ridgewell's time with Wigan totaled six appearances--all starts--during his loan stint in England.

Prior to the match, Mackay praised Ridgewell's work at the club as "terrific":

Ridgewell is expected to rejoin the Timbers in Portland ahead of the Simple Invitational preseason tournament at Providence Park (Feb. 22-28, TICKETS).
