re-signed

Inked again, willingly

Re-signed means signed again, typically referring to contract renewal.

An athlete who re-signed with a team has agreed to a new contract after the previous one expired: The quarterback re-signed with the Cowboys for three more years.

The hyphen distinguishes re-signed from resigned, which means quit or accepted something reluctantly.
