Colombian winger Cristian Montano has signed a new deal with Sky Bet League One newcomers Bristol Rovers.
The 24-year-old - formerly of West Ham and Oldham - returned to England to join Rovers last July after a brief spell with hometown club America de Cali.
After becoming the eighth Pirates player to agree a new deal at the Memorial Stadium this summer, he told bristolrovers.co.uk: "Rovers gave me the opportunity to return home from Colombia and all the boys made me instantly welcome and I thank them all for that.
"The gaffer (Darrell Clarke) gave me my opportunity after Christmas, and I really appreciate his faith. I did my very best to take it and play my part in the promotion push which ended fantastically in that final day at the Memorial Stadium.
"Finally the biggest thank you to the fans who have always supported me and we look forward to taking on League One together."
