The Scotland forward joined Latics in a ?1million move from Celtic on transfer deadline day in August.
The 28-year-old, who has made two substitute appearances in the Barclays Premier League since his signing, hopes to establish himself south of the border after a previously unsuccessful spell at Aston Villa.
Maloney told the club's website: "I'm thoroughly enjoying it at the club and I am totally settled.
"I'm training hard and just want to do my best for the club.
"My fitness was lacking a little bit when I first came here and I didn't really get a great pre-season, but I'm catching up quickly and I just want to push for a place in the line-up as I'm desperate to do my bit for the club."
