Oldham striker bids to impress Penney
Matty Wolfenden has signed a new short-term deal with the proviso of proving his fitness to new Oldham boss Dave Penney.
The 23-year-old has endured a miserable past couple of campaigns with injury and made just seven appearances last term.
Penney has handed Wolfenden the opportunity to enjoy a full pre-season campaign with a contract that ends in August. If the youngster comes through that spell injury-free then Penney could be prepared to extend the deal further.
"We are delighted Matty has decided to sign this short-term deal. He now has the chance to prove his fitness during pre-season," chief executive Alan Hardy told the club's official website.
"This is also an opportunity for Matty to show his true value to the new manager during the pre-season games.
"We hope things go well and if they do there may be a possibility of offering him a further extension."
