While delighted to be back in the Premier League, Scharner also claims that returning to Wigan has felt like coming 'home'.
He added: "Wigan is the greatest place in England. I only see beauty here - from the nice nature surrounding the town and the iconic Wigan Pier to the food and, most importantly, the warm, hospitable people - surely the nicest in the country. Even the cold, blustery weather here in the North West has a charm to it.
"Wigan has been my home for seven years now. Even when I left the club in 2010 to join West Brom my family and I remained living here.
"The first three years in England were difficult. I had to adapt to the weather, food, culture and language - but after that, right up to before I joined Hamburg last summer, we loved it here.
"We made so many friends, had a great social life and felt as though we'd been here all our lives. I felt like a true Wiganer - so when manager Roberto Martinez rang me last week inviting me back, there was no way I wanted to let the chance slip by.
"This is truly where we belong. It's my home."
