Goalkeeper Craig Mawson joined Latics just after the start of the 2004/2005 season on a short term contract. The former Halifax and Burnley 'keeper turned down a new contract at Morecambe to try for a return to league football and made his first appearance in the 2-0 defeat to Tranmere on September 14th as a substitute for the injured Les Pogliacomi.His first start came in the game against Doncaster Rovers.
Manager Brian Talbot said at the time, "Mawson signed on Saturday for a month long contract and we'll have a look at him. Les Pogliacomi, (their usual goalkeeper - ed) by his standards is going through a difficult time and Craig's got to put him under pressure. He's got a month but he's never played at this level. He can't do more than he's done, he's played well in the reserves, he's trained well and I'll have another look at him on Wednesday against Manchester City."
