Yeovil Town have re-signed midfielder Darren Way from Swansea City on a two-year contract.

The 28-year-old won promotion to the Football League during his first spell with the club and was voted player of the year three times.

"I think it's one of the most important signings in the club's history - we needed that boost," manager Russell Slade told BBC Somerset.

Way added: "It's good to come back home and I'm looking forward to it."

Way, who is known to the fans as "Weasel", left Yeovil in 2006 to join Swansea for a fee in excess of �150,000 but his spell in Wales was beset by injury and he started just six league games.

"I really enjoyed my time back at Yeovil when I was on loan [last season] and talking to the gaffer, he soon convinced me I had a part to play at Yeovil," Way said.

"I've come here to play my football and be successful and that's what I'm going to focus on doing," he added.

Yeovil have also taken Netherlands Antilles striker Orlando Smeekes on trial. He played for Go Ahead Eagles in the Dutch first division last season.
