Grimsby Town boss Alan Buckley has made former Wrexham midfielder Chris Llewellyn his fourth summer signing.
The 28-year-old, who has penned a two-year deal with the Mariners, was released by Wrexham when their relegation from League Two was confirmed in May.
He made almost 200 appearances for the Red Dragons during his two spells at the Racecourse Ground after starting his career at Norwich City.
Llewellyn also spent the 2005-06 campaign with Hartlepool United and enjoyed a loan spell with Bristol Rovers five years ago.
Buckley said of his latest capture: "Chris is a good football player, my kind of player.
"Obviously we lost Ciaran (Toner) who played a lot of his time with us on the left, albeit out of position.
"Chris is a natural left-sider and will slot in there easily. He's adaptable, though, and can push further up and switch sides - he should be a great asset to us."
Buckley signed Robbie Stockdale, Richard Hope and Matt Heywood earlier this summer.
