MOTHERWELL have brought striker David Clarkson back to the club as their second signing in 24 hours.
The 29-year-old started his career coming through the youth ranks at Fir Park before going on to make over 250 appearances in claret and amber, notching up 56 goals.
After over seven years in the Well first-team, the then Scotland internationalist went on to sign for Bristol City in 2009 before a loan move to Brentford and a permanent switch to Bristol Rovers eventually saw him return to Scotland last summer.
The striker actually trained with Motherwell this time last year in the hope of earning a deal however then Well boss Stuart McCall failed to offer him a contract.
It led to Clarkson being snapped up by Paul Hartley at Dundee, with him going on to score nine goals, including one against his old team.
However, the striker has now penned a new one-year contract with the option of a second that will see him lead the line for the Fir Park side next season.
He said: "It's good to get everything signed up and it's a place I know and that is close to my heart.
"I had a meeting with the gaffer and the staff and they told me their philosophies and the way they want to take the club forward and that is something I want to be part of.
"Pre-season is the start of it all and hopefully I can do well and at the start of the season we will see what happens but first and foremost I want to get my feet in the door, get to know some of the new lads and then hopefully get some time on the pitch."
Clarkson's return comes just a day after Ian Baraclough tied down Well winger Lionel Ainsworth on a new two-year deal.
