Sale Sharks have agreed to re-sign former captain Will Addison on a one-year deal from next season with the option of a further year.
The 31-year-old utility back came through the Sharks' academy and played more than 100 games for the club in his first spell.
An Ireland international, Addison went on to join Ulster in 2018 but has been restricted by two serious injuries whilst with the Irish province.
"It was really tough to leave Sale but I did it for the right reasons and I have loved my time in UIster. I played international rugby for Ireland and that was a huge dream of mine," he said.
鈥淏ut I鈥檝e remained a big Sale supporter and I鈥檝e loved watching the club going from strength to strength in the last couple of years."
Addison missed more than a year with a back injury after crossing the Irish sea and then missed a further 12 months with a broken leg.
He eventually made just five appearances for Ireland during his time at Ulster.
鈥淢ost of the staff here have already worked with him, and they tell me he鈥檚 one of the most gifted players they鈥檝e worked with and one of the best people they鈥檝e worked with," Sale director of rugby Alex Sanderson added.
"That鈥檚 reason enough to open the doors again and bring him back into the fold."
