Latics boss Paul Cook recalled him for the final six months of his contract at the DW Stadium

Hower the League One leaders cannot prevent him from negotiating a move in the summer.

Daniels was a key player for Wigan when they were last promoted to the second-tier but missed last season with a knee injury.

He has proven his fitness on loan at Spotland and Cook admitted he considered looking at the market for a replacement but was impressed with Daniels’ form.

Wigan may look to tie him to a new deal to avoid paying a fee for a centre-back next season.

Cardiff are still in the promotion hunt and their manager Neil Warnock has gained a reputation in South Wales for unearthing gems from unfancied or out of form clubs and knocking them into shape.

The Latics take a two point cushion at the top of the table to Southend United this afternoon.

Cook's reward for masterminding a win against West Ham is an FA Cup fifth round home tie against Manchester City a week on Monday.
