Boreham Wood have broken their record transfer fee to re-sign striker Morgan Ferrier from Dagenham & Redbridge.
The England C forward joins Luke Garrard's side on a two-year deal having only left Meadow Park last summer.
Ferrier, who began at Arsenal's academy, was the Wood's leading goal scorer last season and is back to boost the club's promotion hopes.
On returning, Ferrier said: “I am excited and I just can't wait to get back out there onto the pitch, doing what I like doing, scoring goals and playing football.
“There were obviously a few things going on at Dagenham and the opportunity arose for me to leave. There were a few teams interested, but as soon as I spoke to the gaffer and spoke to Danny, it naturally just made sense to return.
“I was here last season, I have seen how well the group are doing this year and I have seen how close the group are, so I just want to come and add to that and push the club in the right direction.
“Mainly, I just want to integrate with the group and be a strong part of it on-and-off the pitch, that is the main thing. Wherever the gaffer plans to use me, I will do the best that I can for the team.
“To be pushing for promotion is an unbelievable feeling. As I said, a few other teams made contact with me, who are in-and-around it, but I looked at the squad and I looked at the facilities here again.
“We are only six points off the top, with games in hand on some of the teams, so I feel that with what I can bring, and with what the team has got, that we can get promoted. To make the playoffs, is the minimum really.”
Wood manager Luke Garrard added: “I think that it is great business and I have got to thank my Chairman for this.
“It only came about in the last couple of days, but the opportunity to bring Morgan back to this football club was something that I never thought would happen. With 15 games left, I think that it is going to have a massive impact on what we want to achieve this year.
“I would argue that we have signed one of the best strikers at this level. I feel that he possesses unbelievable ability and unbelievable quality.
“He has got goals in him, he's powerful and pacey and that combined with what we've already got here, will cause me some headaches. I feel that we have five strikers here, that on any given day, can and will get a shirt.
“It is huge in terms of our ambitions. Morgan coming into the camp will give the players a boost. He is a player that last year, in his debut season, scored goals, and he has gone and played a massive part in Dagenham's campaign this year. You saw his performance against us at their place and it was very positive. He knows me, he knows this football club and he knows the personnel within the squad.
“He will be coming into an atmosphere which is very positive and I feel that he will add to that and I look forward working with him again.”
