Joe Butler is looking forward to the challenge of playing for Welton, insisting his move to Social Park was decided purely on football terms.
The 24-year-old agreed personal terms on Monday.
Much was made of the wage demands - reportedly £9-a-week - the full back was making having become a free agent following GE Rustons collapse.
And having previously played for GE Rustons he was expected to remain in Lincoln, with Victory and Adelaide both interested, but was convinced Social Park was the place to start afresh.
Butler said he remembered the atmosphere when he played at the ground for GE Rustons in the Ron Eaglen Cup semi-final of 2009, which Welton won before going on to lift the trophy at Sincil Bank, and was looking forward to experiencing that on a more regular basis.
"This is a massive club. I tried to take everything out of the equation, take the financial and location side out and just thought in football terms," said Butler.
"I thought about the semi-final of the Ron Eaglen when I ran onto the field and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up.
"I was thinking about playing in that atmosphere every week and that swung it for me.
"I know I have made the right decision and I am looking forward to the challenge here at Welton.
