Paul Scharner has confirmed that he will certainly leave Wigan at the end of the season.

The 30-year old Austria international joined the Latics in 2006 from Norwegian club SK Brann but will no longer call DW Stadium his home as he searches for the next challenge in his career.

"This was the last game at the DW Stadium for me, that's true - as a Wigan player," he told BBC Radio Manchester after the 2-2 draw with Hull City on Monday.

"Next season I am looking for a midfield position, but it's too early to say at which club. I am looking to stay in the Premier League.

"I have lots of memories. I think we have to talk for another 30 minutes to cover all the stuff.

"First of all I have to say thank-you to the chairman of Wigan Athletic for giving me the chance to play in the Premier League.

"And another thank-you to the supporters. They created a nice song for me. It was very enjoyable and I go home with tears in my eyes."
