The Ghana international is reunited with Latics manager Steve Bruce who signed him for Blues last summer.

Kingson played for his country in the 2006 World Cup but struggled to make an impact at St Andrews and made just a single league appearance for City before being released at the end of last season.

He has been without a club since and was therefore able to sign after the transfer deadline as a free agent.

Bruce said: "He's a really decent keeper. You don't play nearly 60 times for one of the top 20 nations in the world without having something about you and I think he'll add real competition to the squad here."
