Winger Scott Sinclair has signed a short-term deal with Bristol Rovers where his career began.
The 33-year-old was a free agent after his contract with Championship side Preston North End came to an end in May.
He made 78 appearances and scored 12 goals for the Lilywhites in two seasons.
Sinclair started his professional career with Rovers in 2004 before joining Premier League club Chelsea.
"We are delighted to have brought Scott into the group," Rovers manager Joey Barton told the club website.
"He has been training with us for a couple of weeks now. We're enjoying having him in with us. He's a fit lad, his experience and quality is superb and he will strengthen us further as we move into these winter months."
Sinclair, who has signed until January 2023, could feature in Rovers' League One match against Plymouth Argyle on Saturday.
Over 18 years the winger has had most success during stints with Swansea in the Championship and Premier League, and with Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.
He joined Rovers' Centre of Excellence as an eight-year-old before progressing to the senior squad.
"I'm delighted to be back at the place where my career began," Sinclair said.
