Oxford United have re-signed former loanee Kyle Edwards on a deal until the end of the season.
The 25-year-old, who joined the club on loan from Ipswich, only managed six appearances before injury hampered his playing time.
As a result, the Tractor Boys recalled him from his loan spell before terminating his contract, which was due to expire in the summer.
The winger was continuing his rehabilitation at Oxford and has committed his short term future to the club.
Head coach Des Buckingham told the club’s official website: “We are really pleased to have Kyle back because we know what a good player he is and the level of performance he is capable of.
“We weren’t expecting him to become available but, once he did, it seemed a sensible solution for all concerned.
“The team will work with Kyle as he continues his rehab, and he should be fit for the last month of the regular season.
“To have him available at the business end of this campaign will be an excellent boost at a key time. He is a very positive character and I’m sure the fans will welcome Kyle back.”
Edwards added: “I loved my time at Oxford and was frustrated not to play more because I was really enjoying my football.
“The injuries were clearly a major setback but I have been working hard and feel like I am making progress every day. The medical team are excellent and have got me in a good place.
“The fans were great with me here, and that gives me a target now: to get fit and make sure we are there celebrating together at the end of the season.”
