		<description><![CDATA[Inevitably, players sometimes return to clubs they’ve played with before. It happens often in the SPL.
With the season well into its third pre-split trimester (that’s the best description I could think of), I thought we’d have a look at some of the guys who’ve returned to their old clubs for yet another spell – and there’s a few.

Though the images are a little grainy (it was on a camera phone in poor light), we&#8217;ve put the outlines through photoshop to give you a basic idea of how the new layout]]></description>
