Jaimez Ruiz made 62 appearances for the Shots in his first spell at the club

Aldershot Town goalkeeper Mikhael Jaimez Ruiz says it feels good to be back at the League Two club.

The 26-year-old has returned for a second spell at the Recreation Ground just six months after joining Venezuelan side Yaracuyanos.

He told BBC Surrey: "The opportunity to play Premier League in Venezuela didn't work out. I couldn't adapt and that's why I decided to return.

"It wasn't an easy decision but it's good to be back."

The Venezuelan stopper was released by previous Shots boss Kevin Dillon following their play-off semi-final defeat to Rotherham in May last year.

"We could have been playing in League One but it's a new season and we are where we are," Jaimez Ruiz said.

"There's a new manager and a new philosophy that he wants to have in the club."
