ADRIANO MOKE has teamed up with manager Gary Mills for a third time, re-signing for York City from National League rivals Boreham Wood.
The 26-year-old winger, who can also play in midfield, will be fondly remember by York supporters having been part of the FA Trophy and Conference play-off winning side of 2011-12 under Mills.
He departed the club at the end of that season and has since spent time with Cambridge United, Tamworth, Macclesfield Town and Wrexham, where he joined Mills again in the summer of 2015.
After one season in north Wales, Moke moved down south to sign for Boreham Wood but Moke will once again be pulling on a York shirt after signing until the end of the season.
Boreham Wood boss Luke Garrard says Moke requested to move back up north to be closer to his daughter and both parties agreed to end his Wood deal early so he could reunite with Mills at Bootham Crescent.
“Adriano left Wrexham and moved down to London in the summer,” Garrard said. “Unfortunately for me, the club and our supporters, he has just never settled in the Barnet area and in truth he was missing his young daughter.
“He has acted very professionally throughout and came to see me about his dilemma six weeks ago. He explained his position and asked me if he could perhaps look for a club nearer to his daughter.
“As a dad I totally understood his predicament and understood that he was missing his young daughter. She still lives in the Leeds area, and being away from her was clearly affecting him.
“So, with our injury list now more manageable and with his old manager Gary Mills recently taking over up at York, things progressed quite quickly this week.”
