The 32-year-old midfielder played over 140 times for the Latics before moves to West Bromwich Albion, Hamburger SV and Hamburger SV II, and now rejoins on loan.

Following his switch, Scharner told the club's official website: "I'm here to help the team and to help the club survive in the league."

"It feels as though I've come home because my first spell here lasted four-and-a-half years with many happy memories, so I'm delighted to get this opportunity to return.

"When I discovered that the manager wanted to bring me back, there was no question about it, it was an easy decision.

"I haven't been playing much in Germany with Hamburg and for me there is no better place in England to come to than Wigan.

"Since leaving I've had a few ups, and probably more downs to be honest but I'm still looking after myself fitness-wise and feel ready to give 100% to help us stay in the Premier League, my new challenge."
