JP Kalala left 2006/07 play-off finalists Yeovil to sign for Latics on a two-year deal in June 2007.
Kalala made 42 appearances (1 goal) for the Glovers in 2006/07, helping them to a 5th-placed finish in League One.
He appeared as a substitute in both the play-off semi-final against Nottingham Forest, and the final itself.
The combative midfielder arrived in Britain in July 2005 when he signed for Grimsby Town, and made his name with a stunning winner as the Mariners knocked Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur out of the Carling Cup in 2005/06.
He then followed boss Russell Slade to Huish Park on a free transfer in summer 2006.
Kalala has been capped six times by his native DR Congo.
