Liverpool forward James Balagizi has ended his loan with Wigan Athletic.

Balagizi has returned to Liverpool today after spending the first-half of the season with the Latics.

The 20-year-old initially moved on a season-long deal, but managed just seven appearances for the League One side, failing to register a goal.

Balagizi spent last season on-loan with Crawley Town in League Two and signed a new Reds deal in June.
