Midfielder Matt Butcher has left Wycombe Wanderers to join Salford City on a two-year deal.
The 28-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Bristol Rovers, and has played most of his football in League One.
Butcher began his career at Bournemouth and had spells at Accrington Stanley, Plymouth Argyle, Yeovil Town and St Johnstone in Scotland.
He is Salford's second signing of the week, following defender Michael Rose's acquisition, and hopes he can pass on his huge experience to his team-mates.
"On the pitch, I'm a midfielder, and I'm pretty comfortable in different positions," he told Salford's website, external.
"I like to play with energy, and as the team already does, I like to press high up the pitch.
"I really enjoy that side of things and hopefully I can bring some experience of being in successful teams in the past, and add some quality as well.
"From what I've seen at training, it's similar here to what I've seen in the past with good teams, so hopefully that can continue."

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
