On 10 January 2019, Pilkington was signed by Wigan Athletic on a free transfer after leaving Cardiff City by mutual consent, signing an 18-month deal.

2017

Despite the uncertainty of his future, Pilkington stayed at the club during the summer of 2017, making appearances in the EFL Cup and scoring against Burton Albion. He made his first league appearance on 16 December, starting in a 1–0 win over Hull City, due to the club being left without a recognised striker. Pilkington managed to find the net in a 4–0 win over Sunderland and in a FA Cup at Mansfield Town. His return to the first team led to Warnock stating that there could still be a future for the striker, despite offers during the January transfer window.
