Oldham Athletic have confirmed the signing of Otis Khan on a one-year-deal.

The midfielder, who can operate on the wing, has previously played for Sheffield United, Yeovil, Tranmere Rovers, Grimsby and Mansfield, has earned his move following a pre-season trial at Boundary Park.

The 28-year-old, who captains the Pakistan national team, began his career as a youth player at Manchester United, and is delighted to be back in the north west.

"I've been training with the group for three/four weeks now, getting to know how the manager operates and how the players are, and it's been nothing but positive," said Khan.

"It's a strong squad, I can see nothing but good things happening here and hopefully it will be a successful one (season) for all.

"I like to go forward, contribute with goals and assists having an effect on the game and getting fans out of their seats.

“It's been a long time coming I'm really delighted to get this done."

Manager Micky Mellon added: "He's been with us all pre-season and he's the exact type of player we want to have in that midfield area, he said.

"We want a certain type of profile of player, someone who's technical, works hard and has a great attitude to want to play for Oldham, Otis brings that to the group.

"There's lots of tough games in the National League, and we want to try and consistently put teams out high in energy and high in ability so players like him (Otis) allow us to do that."

Khan began his career at Manchester United at youth level before joining Sheffield United, making his senior debut against Crawley Town in March 2014.

In his three years at the Blades, he gained valuable experience on loan at Buxton, Matlock and Barrow, where registered four goals in eight appearances.

Khan joined Yeovil in 2016 where he spent two seasons, before joining Mansfield where he scored a brace on his debut against Newport County.

He went on to have spells at Newport, Tranmere, Walsall, Leyton Orient before joining Grimsby Town in 2022, where he was a part of the team that made the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, starting in the 5-0 defeat to Brighton.

In November 2023, he was deemed eligible to represent Pakistan and captained the side for the first time in their World Cup Qualifier against Saudi Arabia, since then he’s gone to make nine appearances for the nation.
