Both have joined on short-term contracts with a view to them being extended.

During his playing days, Mimms spent most of his career at Everton, Tottenham and Blackburn Rovers. He also appeared for England under-21's.

Steele (39) is a former striker who has been working as a fitness coach in private practice since his playing days came to an end.

He has known Latics' manager Lee Johnson since they were team mates at Brighton.
