Wigan Athletic defender Ivan Ramis joins Levante

Ivan Ramis has joined La Liga club Levante after mutually agreeing to cancel his contract with Championship outfit Wigan Athletic.

The 30-year-old defender signed for the Latics in 2012 from Mallorca, but was out for nearly a year with a serious knee injury.

Wigan manager Malky Mackay told the club's official website: "[Ramis] is not playing at the moment and is out of contract in the summer, and we felt that in both our interests, this was the best solution."

Ramis, who has signed a six-month contract with the option of a further year at Levante, made a total of 57 appearances for the Latics, scoring five goals.
