Chasetown have confirmed the return of Joey Butlin.

The powerful forward had previously been a key figure of The Scholars side that reached the play-off final before departing for Walsall Wood.

Manager Mark Swann told the club website he was delighted to be able to bring the target man back.

> “Joey is still one of the best out and out number nines about. He is familiar with the club and the way we play.  
>  
> “We were disappointed to lose him previously and are delighted to have him back on board.  
>  
> “He will certainly strengthen our attacking options and he will enjoy the physical battle that our league demands.”

The Scholars have also confirmed a number of departures, including James Wren, Alex Melbourne, Callum Mendez-Jones, Carter Lycett, Ryan Shaw and Jayden Campbell
