He said: "My family and I were so happy here thanks to the people, the fans and my team-mates.

"From the first day I arrived here, everyone helped me settle in. I'm very happy.

"I kept my home here when I went to England, so that means something. I'm pleased to be back and now I can't wait to get out there with my team-mates.
