The 20 year-old made his first-team debut as a substitute in their FA Cup defeat by Plymouth Argyle in February.
Mabaya told the Latics website: “I am delighted to be here, and can’t wait to get started.
"Speaking to the Head Coach about what he expects from me, I believe I can bring value to the team. I’ve had a few conversations with the Gaffer, and I really like his philosophies and way of playing. I think it will be a great place to develop my career.
“I know how big the Club is, and can’t wait to play in front of the fans. I’ve heard about how important the supporters are to the team and how good the fanbase is, and I can’t wait to play in front of them!"
