Swindon Town have re-signed striker Charlie Austin on a free transfer.
The 33-year-old ex-Burnley, Queens Park Rangers, Southampton and West Bromwich Albion goal poacher has returned to the County Ground almost 12 years after leaving the Robins for Turf Moor.
Since leaving QPR for a second time at the end of the 2021-22 season, Austin has been playing down under with Robbie Fowler's former club Brisbane Roar.
But he agreed a mutual termination of his contract earlier this month.
That leaves him free to make the move from the Australian A League back to Wiltshire, subject both to English Football League approval and international clearance - and for now he has agreed a deal to the end of the season.
Austin told BBC Wiltshire: "It's a new chapter for me. I'm a different person to the one they signed all those years ago.
"When I first came through the doors, I was like a rabbit in the headlights but I'm now a lot more experienced. I've been fortunate enough to have travelled, to have seen the world, seen the game and come up against some of the word's best players."
