Liam Ridgewell has become Malky Mackay's first signing at Wigan after joining on a six-week loan from Portland Timbers.
The former Birmingham, Aston Villa and West Brom defender, 30, has moved from MLS side Portland Timbers, subject to international clearance.
"As soon as we found out Liam was a possibility, we moved quickly," Mackay told the club's official website.
"We have him until the start of the MLS season in mid-February and hopefully we can make good use of his experience in that time.
"He is a top-pro who has spent the majority of his career in the Premier League but he also knows this league inside out having earned promotion with Birmingham and he will add the kind of experience that will be crucial to us at this time."
