Oldham sign veteran midfielder Clucas

Sam Clucas made 32 appearances for Rotherham United in the Championship last season

Oldham Athletic have signed former Hull City and Stoke City midfielder Sam Clucas on a deal until the end of the season.

The 34-year-old was a free agent after leaving Rotherham United at the end of last season.

Clucas, who played in the Premier League for Hull and Swansea City, could make his debut for the Latics in Saturday's FA Cup first round trip to Tranmere Rovers.

“I’ve been training with the group for a couple of weeks now and it’s a great group to come into," he told the club website.

“There’s a mix of experience and youth, and the manager is great to work with so this is an exciting opportunity.

“It’s obviously a massive club that shouldn’t be at the level they are, so if I can come in and share my experience with the lads then hopefully we can achieve some success.”
