James McClean: Republic of Ireland man returns to Wigan after ending Stoke stint

Republic of Ireland winger James McClean has rejoined Wigan Athletic on a one-year deal after spending three seasons at Stoke City.

McClean, 32, played 73 games for Wigan between 2013 and 2015 before three-year stints at West Brom and Stoke.

"James McClean has completed a permanent move to Wigan Athletic," said Stoke in a statement on Tuesday night.

"We would like to thank James for his service and wish him every success in the future."

McClean was introduced to Wigan fans before the club's 1-1 draw with Wycombe Wanderers on Tuesday night and a Latics statement said that he had been signed "on an initial one-year deal".
