Former ‘X Factor’ winner James Arthur has resigned with Simon Cowell’s record label Syco two years after being let go. Arthur was dropped from the label in 2014 after a series of public controversies, but recently the singer has made a chart comeback with latest single ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’.

A spokesperson for Syco confirmed they’d resigned Arthur, saying: ‘We can confirm that James Arthur is now once again signed to Syco Music in the UK. We are delighted to welcome him back into the Syco fold.’

On Friday the singer thanked fans for their support as ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’ entered the official charts. ‘THANK YOU ALL for your incredible support and for always believing in me. I couldn’t have done it without you,’ he tweeted.

Speaking to The Sun, a source said: “Over the last few years James has kept in touch with Simon. Simon has always thought James is a real talent but as soon as he heard the record he made up his mind to re-sign him.”

Arthur’s career began to turn around when he signed with Sony Germany and was taken on by the James Grant management group, who also represent stars including Louis Tomlinson and Ant & Dec. His second album Back From The Edge will be released by Colombia Records on November 4, 2016.
