Wigan Athletic have wrapped up the signing of former Newcastle United midfielder Antoine Sibierski on a free transfer.
The 32-year-old Frenchman opted to leave Tyneside and head to the JJB Stadium after being offered a two-year contract by the Latics.
Sibierski scored eight goals in 39 appearances in his one season with the Magpies, having previously netted 14 times in 107 outings during a three-year stint with Manchester City.
Sibierski told his new club's official website: "I am delighted to have my future sorted.
"The manager impressed me hugely and this is clearly a very ambitious club. I can't wait to get started."
Boss Chris Hutchings added: "Antoine is a player I have admired a lot ever since he came to England. He is strong and committed and will give everything to the cause.
"He is a player who can fill a number of different positions, in midfield or as a striker. I'm delighted to be able to add him to the squad."
