Wigan have signed full-back Joe Bennett on a two-year contract, St Johnstone defender Jason Kerr on a three-year deal and centre-back Curtis Tilt on a season-long loan from Rotherham.

Bennett, 31, was released by Cardiff City at the end of last season but has trained with the side this summer.

Kerr, 24, captained his side to a Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup double earlier this year with Saints.

Meanwhile, 30-year-old Tilt re-joins, having also spent last season on loan.

In addition to winning the double, Kerr was named in last season's Scottish Premiership team of the season.

"During this transfer window, we have rejected bids for Jason, but Wigan Athletic met our valuation. From a club and, in particular, a financial point of view, it was an offer we could not turn down," St Johnstone chairman Steve Brown said., external
