Michael Wilde has become the latest addition to the Chester FC alumni at ambitious Welsh Premier League outfit Gap Connah's Quay.
The Blues legend, who was inducted into the club's hall of fame in March 2015 , signed for Nomads following his departure from The New Saints and takes the number of ex-Chester men in the squad to nine.
Centre forward Wilde links up with keeper John Danby, defenders George Horan, John Disney, Paul Linwood and Wes Baynes, and midfielders Callum Morris, Danny Harrison and Jay Owen at the Deeside Stadium.
Nomads qualified for Europe for the first time at the end of last season and manager Andy Morrison snapped up Wilde and Ian Kearney from rivals Airbus UK Broughton as he strengthens his team ahead of the club's maiden Europa League campaign.
"I am delighted to welcome Mike and Ian to the club," said Morrison.
"They are both players who will bring experience and quality to our squad. I have worked with Ian at both Airbus and Northwich and Mike is a player that I've admired for many years.
"The Welsh Premier League is very demanding and you need leaders in your team, and both of these players are leaders."
