Preston North End midfielder Kevin Nicholls has left Deepdale and signed a three-year contract with one of his former clubs, Luton Town, subject to the Football League's agreement.
The 29-year-old made 188 appearances for the Hatters in his first spell with the club and knows a difficult season awaits him at Kenilworth Road.
Mick Harford's side will start their League Two campaign on minus 30 points, and Nicholls admitted: "I know we have a mountain to climb.
"However, this club has a long history and has a special place in my heart.
"I'm absolutely confident that, with the other players planned to come in next week, we'll be very competitive for the entire season.
"To be honest staying up isn't good enough for me - we can, and will, do far better than that this season. I'm delighted to be back, to be part of what the fans have started."
