Kingson Completes Wigan Move
|
Wigan Athletic manager Steve Bruce has bolstered his goalkeeping options at the club with Ghana international Richard Kingson signing a two-year contract.
Kingson, a free agent after leaving Birmingham City, will provide competition for Chris Kirkland and Mike Pollitt.
After a spell out of the game, the 30-year-old is delighted to be given another chance in the English Premier League.
He said: "Like any player, I just want to play. It's terrific to be back in England. Steve Bruce is a great manager and I'm looking forward to my career at Wigan. I know there are two good goalkeepers here already and all I can do is fight for my place and see where that takes me."
Kingson has played the majority of his football in Turkey, before he joined up with Bruce at Birmingham last year. He appeared in the 2006 World Cup in Germany as well as this year's African Nations Cup.
Bruce said: "He's a really decent goalkeeper; you don't play nearly 60 times for one of the top 20 nations in the world without having something about you."
