Ross County have re-signed midfielder Martin Woods from Shrewsbury.
Woods left Dingwall in the summer to join Shrewsbury but decided to return to Scotland and County swooped for his services amid competition from other Ladbrokes Premiership clubs.
The 29-year-old former Doncaster player has signed a two-year deal with an option for a third year after cancelling his contract with the Sky Bet League 1 club.
Woods was Jim McIntyre's first signing as County boss in October last year and scored twice in 26 appearances to help them move away from relegation danger.
McIntyre told his club's website: "Martin was instrumental in the great run of form that this club enjoyed in the second half of last season so we know what he is capable of and it is great news to have been able to get him back to the club on a long-term contract.
"When we learned Martin would be open to a move back to Scotland we didn't hesitate in putting a deal in place for him."
Shrews boss Micky Mellon said: "Unfortunately Martin has had to return to Scotland due to a personal reasons to do with his family. It is sad that he has had to return home but sometimes that is the way things go in life, never mind football.
"He came to see me last week and explained his reasons and there is no way the football club could stand in the way of his decision and wish him all the best in the new chapter of his career at Ross County."
As Woods arrives, Stoke goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann has departed after terminating his loan deal.
The 21-year-old arrived in the Highlands this summer and kept clean sheets in both his appearances but was unable to dislodge Scott Fox. County have also extended Kyle MacLeod's loan spell with Elgin City until January.
