Danny Fox left Nottingham Forest for Wigan Athletic in the January transfer window for a fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £300,000.

The 32-year-old defender was on the books of Forest from 2014 until 2019 and had established himself as an important player for the Reds.

The former Everton prospect played in 18 Championship games for the Reds this season before he switched to rivals Wigan last month, according to WhoScored.

Fox made his debut for Wigan at the weekend, as the defender featured in the Championship game against Queens Park Rangers at the DW Stadium.

The Scottish defender started the match and played for 79 minutes, as the Latics won 2-1.

According to WhoScored, Fox had a pass accuracy of 69.7%, won two headers, and made two interceptions and two clearances.

The win against QPR on Saturday means that the Latics are now 19th in the Championship table with 32 points from 30 matches, as many as seven points above the relegation zone.

Wigan fans were impressed with the performance of Fox and have raved about the former Forest defender on Twitter.
