Wigan beat rivals to the signing of former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Amos

Wigan Athletic have beaten off rivals to the signature of former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Amos.

The 31-year-old was a free agent after allowing his contract to run down at Charlton Athletic, who were keen to re-sign him this summer.

Amos also rejected the option of returning to Manchester United as cover as he wanted to continue playing regular football.
