Former Bristol City playmaker Lee Tomlin has signed for seventh-tier Ilkeston Town as a player/coach - less than two months after announcing his retirement.
Tomlin released a statement on October 5 detailing how the professional game and injuries had taken its toll on his body and after 585 appearances for a host of clubs, with Doncaster Rovers his final team, he was calling time on his career.
However, on Thursday night, Ilkeston - who play in the Southern League Premier Division Central - announced his arrival with the 33-year-old also in contention to play this weekend against Redditch United.
