Danny Ings is a household name in the English game.
The 34-year-old has played 240 times in the Premier League for a wide array of clubs, including Southampton, and he has 72 goals to shout about from his many appearances in the big time.
He even has three England caps next to his name, and a Three Lions goal to boot, with Ings scoring all the way back in 2020, as the Gareth Southgate-led nation won 3-0 over Wales in a friendly contest.
Safe to say, he's had a decorated career, and the veteran marksman has a new club to call home now down in League One.
Ings has a new club
Ings hasn't quite been at his free-flowing best over the past couple of years.
Indeed, over his last full four seasons, the veteran attacker has managed to bag just six league goals, playing in both the Premier League, and Championship, with West Ham United and Sheffield United.
Now, he has dropped down to League One - a division he hadn't called home since the 2011/12 season with AFC Bournemouth - with Wycombe Wanderers, with the Chairboys dramatically announcing the free transfer capture of the 34-year-old on Friday afternoon.
Ings isn't anywhere near his explosive form at Southampton at the moment, with injuries troubling him over recent years as well, but he spoke enthustiatically about his surprise switch to Adams Park in his first interview with the club.
He would note how "exciting" the deal was, with Ings in and around the Wycombe camp since July, before finally getting a move over the line.
He will aiming to recapture his Saints peak, even if he's in the swansong of his playing days, with Ings once in the running for a Premier League golden boot at St. Mary's.

Wycombe picking up Ings is a huge coup, despite there being obvious cobwebs to overcome.
Come the end of the 2019/20 season on the South Coast, the ageing striker was only one goal off Jamie Vardy's 23-goal tally for Leicester City, with 23 strikes gifting the golden boot honour to the Foxes legend, over the 22-goal marksman.
Ings was an absolute machine in front of goal for Ralph Hasenhuttl's men, with James Ward-Prowse, who played alongside the red-hot goalscorer at St Mary's, raising the question of "Is there a better striker in England right now?" when talking about his teammate in early 2020.
Fast forward six years, Ings is already off the mark for Wycombe, as it took the brand-new number 29 just 18 minutes to bag a crucial equaliser against Reading on his League One debut.

He will be hoping that the goals keep flowing, as on his day, he should be far too venomous in front of goal for the lowly third-tier defenders to thwart.
It all rests on whether Ings can stay fit, with the major hurdle that stopped the three-time England international from becoming a consistent Premier League force, arguably, being his horrible injury record.
He will likely be eased into games for the time being, as he was against the Royals, with Wycombe being able to call upon a striker who nearly won a Premier League golden boot as an impact subsitute a ridiculous thought.
Back at St. Mary's, the likes of Cyle Larin would love to follow in Ings' footsteps, as the clinical Canadian would surely adore the attention of scoring top-flight goals by the bucket load, if the Saints can win promotion come May.
