Bramble and Sibierski hop aboard.

New Wigan Athletic manager Chris Hutchings has made Titus Bramble his first signing for the club . Obviously realising the potential in the 25 year old recently released by Newcastle,Hutchings stole in and snatched Bramble from under the noses of other Premiership admirers.

Titus has signed a three year deal with the club and Hutchings cannot wait to bring him into the healm and get him stuck into pre-season training with his new team mates.

"This is an excellent signing and he'll add experience to the back four," Hutchings said of the 25-year-old, who started his career at Ipswich. He's got a point to prove, I want to make him better and hopefully with the players we bring in he will become a better player,".

After making Titus his first signing, Chris Hutchings then made his secound signing of the day, with Antoine Sibierski putting pen to paper on a free transfer also from Newcastle United, just after the first signing of the day. Sibeierski was at the JJB today to meet new manager Hutchings before jetting off on holiday. Immediately after signing he said "I am delighted to have my future sorted. The manager impressed me hugely and this is a very ambitious club. I cannot wait to get started.
