Town have today confirmed the re-signing of striker Pablo Counago on a free transfer from Celta Vigo. The 27-year-old has agreed a two year contract with the option of a third year if Town are promoted within those two years.

Town chairman David Sheepshanks: "We are delighted to welcome Pablo back to this Football Club and all Town fans know that Pablo is a wonderfully talented player, Jim Magilton knows Pablo's strengths and weaknesses from playing alongside him and how to get the best out of him. His attitude towards returning has been thoroughly positive and he appears determined to make up for lost time."

Town boss Jim Magilton added: "I have always looked at Pablo as a player with all the attributes to be top class. He enjoyed a good relationship with the fans of this Club but I don't think anyone really saw the best of Pablo in his first spell here.

"He has matured and comes back to us at a good age. He wants to come and play for me. He wants to come and play for the supporters and this Football Club. I think he feels he has a point to prove and he's determined to prove it."
