Darlington defender Alan White yesterday left his hometown team to rejoin former club Luton Town.
The 33-year-old centre-back has penned a two-year contract at Kenilworth Road where he also played between 1997 and 2000.
He returns to the Hatters having spent two seasons at The Northern Echo Darlington Arena.
White joined Quakers in 2007 from Notts County and made 85 appearances, scoring five goals, for the club he supported as a boy.
However, he also collected four red cards while with Darlington, including one in the only the second minute of the penultimate match of the season.
That earned him a four-game ban and means he will be unavailable for Luton's first three matches in the Blue Square Premier.
At Luton, who will be in the Blue Square Premier next season, White will be in the same squad as another Darlington-born player in striker Tom Craddock, as well as ex-Quakers loanee Liam Hatch who joined the Hatters last week.
Luton boss Mick Harford said: "Alan White's contribution at Darlington was massive. He has been a rock for them at the heart of their defence.
"He had a great game against us up at their place and I believe he will play a big part in what were trying to achieve here.
"He's been and played here before so he knows the club well and I'm delighted that weve been able to sign him."
White is the fifth player to leave Darlington since the end of the season following the exits of Ricky Ravenhill, Jason Kennedy, Rob Purdie and Ryan Valentine.
With Quakers playing budget having been cut by over £1m, he is unlikely to be the last to leave.
Right-back Neil Austin last week held talks with Hartlepool United while Pawel Abbott is wanted at both Hearts and Oldham Athletic.
Manager Colin Todd continues to work on bringing in new players and Carlisle United pair Chris Lumsdon and Jeff Smith have both agreed to join.
Todd returns from holiday next week when he hopes to complete Dean Windass' move.
