HITC Sport understands Fleetwood are in talks to sign Wigan defender.
Fleetwood Town are poised to sign Wigan Athletic defender Craig Morgan, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
New Fleetwood boss Joey Barton is keen to reshape his squad at Highbury as he looks to build a side capable of challenging for promotion from League One next season.
Barton made Rangers midfielder Jason Holt his first signing as Fleetwood boss earlier on Monday, but now he is on the verge of making experienced defender Morgan his second signing.

Fleetwood are in the market for defensive reinforcements this summer after seeing long-serving defender Nathan Pond leave for Salford City.
Morgan never featured for Wigan last season as they won the League One title and he is ready to move on in search of regular first-team football as this stage of his career.
Craig Morgan captained Wigan to League One title
Wales international Morgan joined Wigan in the summer of 2015 after arriving from Rotherham United.
The 33-year-old led Wigan to the League One title in the 2015-16 season and he has previously won promotion from League One with Rotherham so he will add valuable experience to Barton’s ranks.
