He most recently scored the winning penalty in the FAI Cup final for St. Pats.
Speaking to DundalkFC.com, he said:
“It’s great to be back, after finalising his move from St Patrick’s Athletic.
When I walked into Oriel Park to sign the contract, all of the old memories from my first spell here came back and I’m looking forward to replicating that again.
“When I left here the first time around I felt I had done all I could with the group that was there. I just wanted something new. Coming back, it’s a fresh start.
The club has new owners, who look ambitious, new management and new players to a big degree. I can’t wait to get going again.
“I think I’ve learned a lot about the game in the last two years and I’m coming back a better player and as hungry as I ever was to succeed.”
