Town completed the signing of Poole Town striker Charlie Austin for an undisclosed fee in October 2009.
The 20-year old arrived at The County Ground with an impressive scoring record and hit 46 goals in 46 games for Poole Town in 2008/2009.
After scoring six goals in six reserve games, Austin was given his full debut from the bench against Norwich City at Carrow Road, and has not looked back since.
The former Reading trainee initially signed a deal until the end of the season, but after what was a hugely impressive start was offered a two-year extension to his deal - which he duly signed.
His whole-hearted performances and formidable strike partnership with Billy Paynter meant that, by the end of Season 2009/2010, Austin had gone from an unknown amateur to a local hero after scoring 20 goals in 31 starts.
