Forward Conor Chaplin is back at Pompey, signing on a season-long loan from Ipswich Town.
Chaplin, now 28-years-old, came through the Portsmouth ranks and scored a total of 25 goals in 122 appearances before signing for Coventry City in the summer of 2018.
The forward initially joined the club at the age of 6, going on to sign his first professional deal in October 2014. His first senior goal came away at Morecambe later that same season.
He was also an integral part of Paul Cook's League Two title-winning side of 2017, netting 8 goals that season.
Since leaving Pompey 7 years ago, Chaplin has gone on to feature the likes of the aforementioned Coventry, Barnsley and Ipswich Town, gaining valuable experience across both the Championship and Premier League.
Blues boss John Mousinho said in an official club statement: "I'm sure that Conor doesn't really need any introduction to the Pompey faithful.
"This is a deal that I know everyone's going to be excited about and we're grateful to Ipswich for loaning him to us.
"We're delighted to bring in someone who's a proven Championship goalscorer and was part of a side that recently enjoyed an outstanding season at this level.
"With the fact that he's at the prime of his career - along with the history he has here - it's a brilliant signing for us."
