Ireland winger James McClean has returned to Wigan Athletic after signing an initial one-year contract.
The 32-year-old is back at the DW Stadium six years after leaving the Latics and will be presented to the fans ahead of Tuesday night’s home game against Wycombe.
McClean arrives for an undisclosed fee from Stoke and will add a wealth of experience to Leam Richardson’s team, having made over 300 appearances in the Premier League and Championship.
It is hoped he might be available for Wigan’s League One trip to Charlton on Saturday.
His Stoke manager Michael O'Neill had confirmed at the weekend that he was trying to offload the Derryman.
"James is part of the U23s," said the Stoke boss. "He’s available to other clubs but as yet no club has taken up that option as far as I understand."
