David Perkins charges through the Darlington midfield playing for Dale in 2008
David Perkins has re-joined Rochdale after leaving Wigan.
The 35-year-old was previously at Dale in 2007-08 under manager Keith Hill, making 60 appearances and scoring five goals.
He made 21 appearances in Wigan's League One title-winning season and spent three years at the club.
Perkins said: “I’m very pleased to be back.
"The 10 years since I was last here has flown by, to be honest. It only seems like yesterday since I was here, so I’m very pleased to be back and I’m looking forward to the season ahead.
“Keith Hill has been top-drawer with me over the years. I played with him at Morecambe and came to work under him at Rochdale from there, and I also worked with him at Barnsley, so I know what he’s like and I’m really looking forward to working with him again.”
