Wigan Sign Former West Brom Defender Jonas Olsson on Deal Until End of the Season

Wigan Athletic have confirmed the signing of former West Brom defender Jonas Olsson on a deal until the end of the 2018/19 campaign, as the Latics look to strengthen their squad for the second half of the season.

The 35-year-old made 261 appearances in a nine-year spell with West Brom, which came to an end when he left for Sweden in 2017.

Having won the Swedish Cup with Djurgardens IF in May, however, he finds himself back in England to help Wigan steer further clear of Championship relegation.

“I am very happy to be involved," he told the club website.
