Tyrone Barnett, who was released by Hereford this summer, has signed for Leamington.
He made 45 appearances for Hereford last season and was the club’s highest scorer with nine goals.
Leamington, who were relegated from the National League North, said the signing was a coup.
Brakes boss Paul Holleran is the first manager he Barnett worked with at the beginning of his career as a 19 year old back in 2006.
Since then, Barnett has scored goals at every level from the Southern League Midland Division to the EFL Championship.
"Tyrone played for me many many years ago, and has gone on to have a fantastic career," said the manager.
"I thought he was good for Hereford last year, and he was a player that we listed, knowing that we wanted one of our number nines to be a focal point, because we've certainly missed that over the last couple of years for different reasons."
He added: "It was something that I started enquiring about at the start of the summer; seeing whether it was possible, so five or six weeks on, to finally get it over the line and get Tyrone on board - obviously mainly to help us on the pitch at Leamington, but I think he'll be a good asset to us off the pitch as well in his other role at the club.
"It's a really pleasing signing for us. I know the character of the lad - he's a real good kid, and he'll be a real help to some of the younger players in the squad as well; and on top of everything I know that his performance levels are still right up there. He's in great condition, looks after himself, and plays a lot of games every season."
