Fulham midfielder Michael Brown has completed his move to Wigan Athletic, joining the Latics for an undisclosed fee on a three-year contract.

The 30-year-old had been told he could leave Craven Cottage by manager Lawrie Sanchez, having been with Fulham since January 2006, when he signed from Tottenham Hotspur.

Latics boss Chris Hutchings told the club's official website: "Like all of our signings we have done extensive research on the player and I feel he is someone who brings something new to the table.

"We have worked really hard behind the scenes to make this one happen, because I believe he will make a big difference to the side and I am really happy Michael has agreed to join us.

"He has huge Premier League experience and is an all-action player who can play a number of roles in the middle of the park.

"He is a totally committed player, who never gives anything less than 100 per cent to the cause and strengthens competition in those midfield areas even further."
