Toney, signed from Northampton Town in 2015, scored six goals for Wigan.

"It's a great club and there was disappointment last year in not winning the play-offs," said Toney. "Hopefully, we can do better this season and I can't wait to get started."

Scunthorpe are fourth in the League One table.

Toney has also had spells at Barnsley and Shrewsbury Town since joining Newcastle.
