MLF new boys the Reading Ruckus have snapped up ex-England CSA striker Zak McKracken from MLF International's Tokyo Tornados.
McKracken, 27, has struggled to settle in Japan following his move from Manchester Magic.
And the blond hitman says he felt homesick.
"I'm happy and relieved to back in England," he said. "This is a great challenge for me to play in Reading for the newly-formed Ruckus."
Zak retired from internationals following the 2006 CSA World Cup.
