The 2014–15 season is Oldham Athletic's 18th consecutive season in the third division of the English football league system and Lee Johnson's second full season as manager of the club.
A strong ten match unbeaten run at the end of the 2013–14 season gave Oldham a platform on which to build for the new season as building work literally continued on the new North Stand.[1]
Six of the first team squad who finished the 2013–14 season left the club after their contracts' expired: Jonathan Grounds, James Wesolowski, Terry Dunfield, Anton Rodgers, Charlie MacDonald and Kirk Millar. The club captain Korey Smith was sold to Bristol City.[2] In Smith's place, Johnson signed midfielders Liam Kelly from Bristol City[2] and Mike Jones from Crawley Town.[3] Joseph Mills, who had spent three months on loan during the 2013–14 season, was signed on a two-year contract.[4] In addition, Johnson brought in defenders Brian Wilson[3] and George Elokobi,[5] midfielder Timothée Dieng[6] and forwards Willy Gros, Amari Morgan-Smith[7] and Jonathan Forte[8] before the first game of the new season.
