Become a first-team regular 

The Liverpudlian spent time in the academy of Liverpool before switching to Wigan as a youngster.

He has since risen up through the ranks with the North West club and initially had to bide his time before breaking into the first-team.

Lang had various loan spells away at Morecambe, Oldham Athletic, Shrewsbury Town and Motherwell to gain experience before getting his chance with the Latics last term.

What now? 

Wigan will have to try and beat Burton without him before his return away at Fleetwood Town next Tuesday.

They are currently 3rd in the table but missed the chance to go top last time out.

Burton are 8th in the league and are two points outside the Play-Offs.
