Kieran Dowell has joined Championship side Wigan Athletic on loan for the rest of the 2019/20 campaign after his temporary spell at Derby County was ended early.

Everton Academy graduate Dowell made 10 league appearances for the Rams, having enjoyed a successful loan stint at Sheffield United last season.

The 22-year-old midfielder has made five senior appearances for Everton. He was given his Blues first-team debut in December 2014, coming on a substitute in the Europa League clash against FC Krasnodar.

Dowell will link up with his former Everton Academy teammates Joe Williams and Antonee Robinson at Wigan.
