Beresford joins the Latics following injuries to Mark Crossley and Les Pogliacomi and is set to make his debut against Huddersfield on Saturday.

The 38-year-old has started over 100 games in his second spell with Luton.

But Beresford, who played more than 300 games for Burnley, has not figured this season since the arrivals of Ben Alnwick on loan from Tottenham.
