TOM Holland has returned to TNS to boost the Oswestry club's JD Cymru Premier title bid.

The former Swansea City midfielder returns to Park Hall from League of Ireland Premier League side Waterford.

Holland enjoyed a successful two year spell with the Welsh champions before departing at the end of last season.

However Holland now returns with the aim of ensuring the club retain its status as Wales' premier club.

Manager Scott Ruscoe said: "It’s nice to welcome Tom Holland back to the football club.

"It’s an ideal time for us to add some more quality to the squad, with a player that will improve us in the next few months.”

Holland expressed his delight at his homecoming and hoped to play in Europe again this summer.

Holland said: "Coming back to TNS is the best way to develop my career ambitions through European football, rather than lower league English football.

"Also, the coaching and facilities are top-notch, along with the positivity and camaraderie that being part of the club brings."
