English League One side Wigan Athletic have signed UK-based Ghanaian defender Sean James Kweku Clare on a three-year deal following his release by fellow League One side Charlton Athletic.
The 26-year-old came through the Addicks’ youth setup but went on to join Sheffield Wednesday in 2016.
He went on to have spells with Hearts, Oxford United and Burton before re-joining Charlton in 2021.
Clare after signing the deal expressed his excitement:
“I’m really excited. It’s something that when it first came to my attention, stood out (to me). It’s a massive Club with great ambition, and I feel I am in a great position to come in and help the team progress.
“I’m really looking forward to playing in front of the fans. I know they always get behind the team, and from everything that I have seen and heard, it should be an exciting season!”
Clare, who was a Scottish Cup runner-up with Hearts, made 92 appearances in all competitions for Charlton over the past two seasons.
Sean will wear the number 7 shirt during his time at the DW Stadium.
