Swiss defender Stephane Henchoz has joined up with Wigan on their pre-season camp and is hoping to earn a contract with the Premiership new boys. The 31-year-old has jetted out to Denmark and will train with The Latics for the next week.
Henchoz is a free agent having departed Celtic at the end of last season.
He managed only two starts at Parkhead having joined on a short-term deal from Liverpool.
Wigan boss Paul Jewell believes Henchoz could prove a valuable addition to his squad and will move provided the stopper can prove his fitness.
"He doesn't have to prove anything in terms of quality; all he has to prove is his fitness.
"He's been training on his own all summer, but from what I've seen so far he's kept himself in pretty good shape."
