Now the 31-year-old Welshman, who SunSport told you has sealed a bargain £12m return, said: “It’s nice to be back!
“It’s such a special club to me, it’s where I made my name. What an amazing club and amazing fans – it’s incredible to be back.
“Hopefully I can get underway, help the team and hopefully win trophies.
“I always thought when I did leave that one day I would love to come back.
“The opportunity now has arisen and I feel like it’s a good fit, it’s a good time for me.
“I’m hungry, I’m motivated, I want to do well for the team and can’t wait to get started.”

Bale, whose arrival was confirmed just after Sergio Reguilon’s five-year move from Real Madrid was announced, won the Champions League FOUR times with Real Madrid and LaLiga twice.
Asked what he can bring to North London from all his success in Spain, Bale replied: “By going to Madrid, winning trophies, and going far with the national team, I feel like I have that winning mentality.
“You don’t realise until you’re there, in those situations in finals, how to deal with the nerves and the pressure.
“That all goes with experience and hopefully I can bring that to the dressing room and bring a bit more belief to everybody that we can win a trophy.”
