Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Mike Pollitt has expressed his delight at manager Roberto Martinez's decision to remain at the club, despite offers from elsewhere.

The former Swansea City boss has been linked with numerous Premier League jobs this summer, including posts at Liverpool, Aston Villa and Tottenham, but chose to remain at the DW Stadium.

The 40-year-old shot-stopper was happy to hear the news regarding his manager's decision to stay and now believes the club can look to prepare for the new season.、

"The players have been in the same boat as the fans over the past few weeks, keeping up to date via the papers and Sky Sports News," Pollitt told The Evening Post.

"It looked like it was all right for a few weeks, and then when Harry Redknapp left Tottenham I thought, 'Oh no'.

"It has been a bit unsettling these last few weeks, not really knowing what's been going on with the manager.

"But we're all delighted he's staying, and let's hope he can keep us moving up that table."
