Legendary goalkeeper Preston Edwards has made an emotional return to Dulwich Hamlet.
Edwards, 34, has signed from Isthmian League Premier Division rivals Potters Bar Town after leaving the Hamlet in the summer of 2020.
Edwards has since had spells with Dartford, Brentwood Town, Braintree Town and Cheshunt.
Former Millwall goalkeeper Edwards initially joined Dulwich on loan before signing permanently from Ebbsfleet United in 2016.
Edwards was part of Gavin Rose’s squad that won promotion to the National League South in 2018 and he made 40 league appearances the following season.
Edwards is currently serving a three-game suspension, with one match remaining, and will become available for the league trip to Whitehawk on October 21.
“Delighted and excited about returning to Dulwich,” Edwards said. “This club means a lot to me. It’s not just about the football. It’s about the camaraderie, the community and the shared passion for the game with the supporters.
“I’m committed to get the club back to where it belongs and make it a successful season.”
Meanwhile, Hakan Hayrettin’s side are through to the first round proper of the FA Trophy after Akwo Ayuk scored on his debut at Cheshunt last weekend.
Ayuk scored four minutes from time as goalkeeper Will Lakin, who was also making his debut, produced a brilliant save in added-time.
Dulwich will host Lewes in the next round on October 28.
