Oldham have signed David Dunn on a one-year contract following the midfielder’s release by Blackburn Rovers.

Dunn, who picked up his one cap for England in a friendly against Portugal in September 2002, joined Blackburn as a trainee and returned to the club in 2007 following an injury-plagued spell with Birmingham.

“This signing will make our midfield one of the strongest in League One so I’m looking forward to working with David,” the manager, Darren Kelly, told the club’s website.

“David is a very experienced player and he will be a great addition to our existing squad. He has Premier League class and his experience will be vital to the younger players in our dressing room.”

Dunn, 35, has played more than 250 games in the Premier League for Blackburn and Birmingham.
