Portuguese striker Pedro Moutinho has ended speculation about his future after signing a new contract with Falkirk.
Moutinho, 27, had been expected to return to Portugal this summer, but has performed a U-turn and penned a one-year contract with the Bairns.
"I love the people, the culture and the club and, although I had offers on the table in Portugal and elsewhere, I felt that on weighing it all up, Falkirk was the place I wanted to be," he said.
Manager John Hughes added: "I am delighted that Pedro has chosen to stay with the club and he has demonstrated his commitment and desire to play for Falkirk, having rejected a very lucrative offer abroad.
"His talent is not in question. However, he is aware that he must produce this more consistently this season and hopefully he will stay fit."
