The 35-year-old, as a minimum, wants to help Edinburgh make the end-of-season play-offs.

Vorobyev said. “I go out every game and give 100per cent and look to improve from last season.

“I was happy playing with the Capitals and the city is great to live in with a great set of fans.

“I felt at home there which was important to me.”

Vorobyev played 60 times for the Caps last season and picked up 21 goals and 58 points.

He proved very popular among the fans and his return is sure to excite the Edinburgh support, still delighted at the news of Dmitri Khristich’s appointment as head coach.

And the Kazakhstan-born forward said he’s looking forward to working under the new coach Dimitri Khristich.

He added: “Dmitri was a great player and I am sure he is going to be an excellent coach.”
