Former Liverpool defender joins Wigan Athletic

Movement continues to take place lower in the Premiership pecking order.

Former Liverpool defender Stephane Henchoz has signed a single season contract with Wigan Athletic.

Last season Henchoz played with Celtic in Scotland but languished.

The 30 year old had been on trial with Wigan. German club Kaiserslautern and Basle from his native Switzerland were interested but he chooses to fight the newly promoted fight with Wigan. Might not be a bad idea as he never seemed the most motivated player.

A 12 month contract suits everyone too, Wigan could get relegated or Henchoz could defend like a tree stump.
