Wigan went into administration in July and are in talks over the sales of further first-team players.

Dunkley, who has also played for Crewe Alexandra, Hednesford Town and Kidderminster Harriers, becomes the Owls' second signing of the summer.

He said in a statement on social media that he would hold Wigan "dear at heart" and wished the Latics success for the future.
