Paul Murray has returned to Boundary Park after being released last week by Hartlepool. The 36-year-old has signed to the end of the season.
Murray previously played 105 times for Latics in a three year stint from 2001 after beginning his career with home-town club Carlisle. He then moved to QPR for £300,000 in 1996 and then spent a short spell at Southampton before joining the Latics.
