Carty, who joined the Whites’ B team squad in the summer after leaving Wolverhampton Wanderers, links up with the Latics ahead of fixture at home to Yeovil Town on Saturday.

The 20-year-old Irishman - a Republic of Ireland Youth international who featured at the 2019 Euro Under-17 Championship, has been a regular starter for the B team this season and scored on his senior debut for Wanderers last month.

Carty came off the bench to fire home a spectacular equaliser in a 2-2 Papa John’s Trophy draw at Tranmere Rovers and now gets the chance to experience further first-team football at Boundary Park.
