Oldham Athletic new boy Kevin Maher insists he has chosen the right club to indulge his "winning habit" this forthcoming season.The experienced midfielder, 31, captained former club Southend through back-to-back promotions and rejected offers from Gillingham and Swindon in favour of a move to Boundary Park after his contract with the Shrimpers expired.

"Moving north didn't bother me - I just wanted to make sure the football was right and I think Oldham is the right club for me," Maher told the club's official website.

"The set-up and the management feels good here and I think this will be a good move.

"I enjoyed quite a bit of success at Southend and the more success you get, the more you want.

"You get into that winning habit and it just sticks and keeps on coming."
