Career

Wiggan was a product of Sheffield United's youth system and had appeared for England Schoolboys when made his first team debut as a 16-year-old amateur in August 1979, appearing as a substitute in a League Cup fixture against Doncaster Rovers. Turning professional, Wiggan began to play regularly during the 1980–81 season that saw the Blades relegated from Division Three. Having started a few games in the early part of the following season, Wiggan soon lost his place and was eventually released in the summer of 1982.

Following three seasons with the east coast club, Wiggan had spells at a succession of clubs; Frickley Athletic, a second spell at Gainsborough, Bishop Auckland and Buxton before retiring from playing in 1993.
