Flint Town United have signed midfielder Rob Hughes from Melbourne Knights.
Hughes made the move to Melbourne Knights in January after spending the first part of the 2019/20 season at Prestatyn Town.
The 28-year-old, however, has made a swift return to North Wales by joining Flint Town United.
He returns to North Wales as Flint’s first summer addition as they assemble a squad for the 2020/21 campaign.
Hughes had flight spells with Connah’s Quay and Rhyl before going to Australia and then Prestatyn.

“We look forward to seeing you in black & white.”
The Silkmen have already secured Aaron Jones, Andy Brown, Dom McHugh and Richie Foulkes to new deals.
Defender Tony Davies however will be leaving Cae-y-Castell.
Flint will now await the FAW’s decision on whether their promotion to the Cymru Premier will be ratified after finishing second in the Cymru North and securing the Tier One licence.
