Joe Piggott (born 23 June 1998) is an English professional footballer who plays for EFL Championship club Wigan Athletic, as a forward. He made his senior debut for Dundee United in 2017, and has also played for Warrington Town and spent time on loan with Morecambe, Altrincham and Stockport County.
Club career
Born in Nantwich,[2] Piggott had spells with Rochdale and the club he supported, Everton,[2] before joining Scottish Championship club Dundee United in September 2017.[3] He went onto make his first-team debut for United in a Scottish Challenge Cup tie against Alloa Athletic, playing for 71 minutes in a 3–1 victory.[4]
After one further first team appearance for Dundee United, Piggott was released and returned to England, joining Northern Premier League club Warrington Town in January 2018.[5] He scored an equalising goal on his debut in an FA Trophy defeat to National League South club Wealdstone.[6] Four days later, he scored two goals against Matlock Town.[7] Piggott's form at Warrington led to a transfer to EFL Championship club Wigan Athletic in August 2018.[8]
After playing for Wigan's under-23 side in pre-season, Piggott was loaned to League Two club Morecambe until January 2019[9] and went onto make his debut during a 3–2 defeat to Bury.[10] Three days later, he scored his first goal for the club during an EFL Trophy defeat to Carlisle United, giving Morecambe a 2–1 lead in the 24th minute.[11]
Piggott joined National League North club Altrincham on loan in January 2019, scoring his first goals for the club in a 6-0 win over Curzon Ashton.[12][13] In September 2019 he went on loan again, joining Stockport County in the National League,[14] before returning to Wigan later that month.[15]
