But Latics got the deal over the line shortly before Thursday’s 11pm deadline.
London-born Scully represented England at Under-16, before switching allegiance to Ireland, for whom he won Under-21 honours.
He has signed a three-and-a-half year contract at the DW.
He takes the number of summer signings to five, after the arrivals of Ryan Nyambe, Nathan Broadhead, Ashley Fletcher and Rarmani Edmonds-Green.
