I was a regular there too. I’m “Matt75” in those screenshots.
There was JKLatics, there was the Latics Canada site, and at some point the other message board that I assume is still around today.
I’m probably putting two and two together and making XI but they normally announce signings’ squad numbers in the articles. I assume that means Garner’s number is currently occupied and shortly to be vacated.

He’s still there. Contracted to the end of this season. Looks like he hasn’t done much to impress; 27 league and cup appearances, but only 11 were starts. One goal (a match winner), one red card. He barely gets mentioned on Livi forums.
