Wigan Athletic have signed former Republic of Ireland striker Scott Hogan on a short-term deal until January.

Hogan, 34, left MK Dons at the end of last season after joining them on a free transfer from Birmingham City in October 2024.

Wigan will hope he can add to their firepower after making a slow start to their League One campaign, but Hogan's only goal for MK Dons last season came almost a year ago.

The much-travelled Hogan made his name at Brentford in the Championship, prompting Aston Villa to sign him for a reported £9m, rising to £12m, in January 2017, while he has also had spells at Rochdale, Stoke and Sheffield United.
