Wigan have signed error-prone defender Titus Bramble on a three-year contract, thereby sealing their fate next season. Bramble joins on a free transfer and becomes Chris Hutchings’ first signing as Wigan manager – well Chris, things can only get better.
‘This is an excellent signing and he’ll add experience to the back four,’ Hutchings said of the 25-year-old. ‘Other clubs were very interested [hmm, probably not any Premiership clubs though Chris] and it speaks volumes for us as a club that he has chosen to come here.’
Wigan are now 5-4 third favourites to be relegated next season (behind Derby and Birmingham).
