The experienced defender arrives at Boundary Park following the expiry of his contract at Walsall, becoming the latest addition to Micky Mellon’s squad ahead of the 2025/26 Sky Bet League Two campaign.

Daniels, 31, adds leadership and proven quality to the Latics back line, bringing with him under 350 senior appearances across the EFL and the Scottish Premiership.

A product of the West Bromwich Albion academy, the centre-half gained his first taste of senior football with loan spells at Tranmere Rovers, Gillingham and Blackpool, where he helped the Seasiders secure Championship survival in 2014/15. 

He later joined Blackpool permanently after a successful spell with Wigan Athletic, where he made 44 appearances and scored three goals during their League One title-winning campaign in 2015/16.
