Titus Bramble
At just 25 years old, Titus Bramble is without doubt just what supporters will have wanted at the back. Opposed to our aging defence of the previous two seasons, Bramble's pace and power is a much welcome addition to the back line.

The former Ipswich defender himself was pleased with the move. He said: "This is a really exciting move for me and I'm delighted my future is sorted and I can look forward to next season.

"As soon as I met Chris Hutchings I knew I wanted to sign for Wigan Athletic. This is a really forward thinking club with big ambitions. He made it clear that he wanted me and that felt great.

"When I spoke to other players about Wigan and Chris Hutchings they only had good things to say. His reputation as a coach who improves and develops players is excellent. Other clubs did approach me but I know this is the right move at the right time of my career."


Sibierski meanwhile was equally pleased to join the club. A midfielder-cum-forward known for his aerial ability, the Frenchman was also pleased to get his future sorted. He said: "I am delighted to have my future sorted. The manager impressed me hugely and this is clearly a very ambitious club. I can't wait to get started."

Not one to rest on his laurels, Hutchings immediately pointed out that there are more signings to come ahead of the new campaign. He said: "Now we move on and the search goes on for more new players."

Both players come on free transfers after being released by Newcastle United. Bramble has signed a three year deal and Sibierski a two year deal.
