Wrexham have signed former Premier League goalkeeper Ben Foster until the end of the season.
The 39-year-old last played for Watford before announcing his retirement last year.
But the ex-Manchester United goalkeeper will be lacing up his boots once again, 18 years since he played on loan for Wrexham from Stoke.
“I’m over the moon," said Foster upon signing. "I’ve been at the club an hour this morning and it seems a really nice place. Everyone is down to earth and the manager’s top-class.
“It’s changed a lot since I was last here but it’s nice to be back and it’s nice to be back as a player too. It will be interesting to see how my body feels after training today! I’m looking forward to getting started.
“The first time I was here, it was genuinely the springboard to the rest of my career – on the back of the loan move, playing in the LDV Vans Trophy Final at the Millennium Stadium, I got my move to Manchester United at the start of the next season. It was absolutely bonkers!
“If you’d told me 18 years ago that I’d have gone on to have the career that I have had, I probably wouldn’t have believed you to be honest so I do owe a lot to Wrexham.”
Wrexham goalkeeper Rob Lainton has been ruled out for six weeks with a knee injury.
