Jermaine Pennant joins injury-ravaged Wigan

Former Liverpool and Stoke winger Jermaine Pennant has signed a deal with injury-hit Championship side Wigan until the end of the season.

The 32-year-old last played in England on New Year's Day in 2014 and was a free agent having recently returned from a stint in the Indian Super League.

Pennant trained with Wigan last week and was in attendance at the DW Stadium on Friday night as their worrying form continued in a 3-0 loss to Charlton which leaves them deep in the relegation mire.
