I'd tell him about the changes that have been made at Stonehenge BPL this season and let him know how you would love for him to step things up himself. There is opportunity to grow at Stonehenge and with this growth comes better wages. You have witnessed first hand 2 very promising qualites from this guy. First, and I consider this huge, is dependablity. We need guys who show up everyday and on time. We need to know that when they are given a task it will get done. Secondly he sounds coachable. We want guys who don't already own the world. We have tried and true systems and procedures to accomplish our daily tasks. He must learn these procedures and follow them. It makes our job as leaders that much easier if there are willing followers.

To me it sounds like your guy didn't burn any bridges when he left or you wouldn't even be considering him again. I say if you can use him bring him back on and let him know that he is expected to step up to bat and swing with everthing he has got. The reward will be worth the effort.
