Watson joined Wigan from Crystal Palace in January 2009

Wigan midfielder Ben Watson has said he wants more appearances after his goal-scoring display against Arsenal.

The 24-year-old is back at the DW Stadium after a successful loan spell with West Bromwich Albion.

He told BBC Radio Manchester: "Now, working hard, I've got my chance and I did reasonably well against Arsenal.

"I've played one game so I can't get ahead of myself. But I'll go into training and do what I've been doing all season and we'll see what happens."

He added: "Obviously, I've not played as often as I've wanted for this team this year.

"But that's the gaffer's choice at the end of the day, he makes the decisions and I've been out of line a couple of times.

"This club needs to stay in the Premier League and we're almost there.

"Now, we'll look to finish as high as we can and build on it next season."
