Lamprey said: "I enjoy challenging myself against stronger sides and so when 'Arnie' offered me the chance to play back in National One, I was excited at the opportunity.
"I'm definitely looking forward to pre-season and the 2016-17 season and hopefully can bring something different to an already strong outfit."
Lamprey's day job is as a statistician and data/IT specialist who is based in the North West.
