The 29-year-old returns to Croft Park after a two-year stint with the Highwaymen, and will be hoping to rekindle his fan favourite status with the Spartans fanbase.

First team manager Marc Nash added: “Rhys needs no introduction really. Hopefully this is an indication of the improvements we are trying to make. Rhys clearly still loves this club, and after speaking to him, you know we are getting a solid, reliable player. We are delighted to have him back at Spartans.”
