regainer
Person getting back
One who regains something—recovers what was lost or reclaims a former state.
The word is rare, appearing mostly in sports contexts for athletes returning to previous form or rankings: a regainer of the championship title.
More often, English uses "regained" as a verb rather than naming the person who regains.
