Wayne Rooney has completed an emotional return to Everton from Manchester United.
The 31-year-old's anticipated move back to his boyhood club, after 13 successful years at Old Trafford, was confirmed on Sunday.
He leaves United as their record goalscorer with 253 strikes and after winning 12 major honours, including five Premier League titles and the Champions League.
But for Rooney, Everton was always his first love and remained close to his heart.
Rooney, who burst onto the scene as a precocious 16-year-old with the Toffees, told Everton TV: "It feels great. To be honest - I've kept it quiet for the last 13 years - but I've actually been wearing Everton pyjamas at home with my kids. I had to keep that a bit quiet!
"It's a great feeling to be back. I'm excited, I cannot wait to meet the lads, get on the training pitch and then get on the pitch to play. I'm ecstatic - I just cannot wait to get back playing."
Rooney has signed a two-year deal at Goodison Park and moves for an undisclosed fee.
Speculation linking him with the Toffees had intensified considerably in the past week and it seemed a deal was close when he was filmed at the Merseysiders' training ground on Saturday.
In a statement issued to Press Association Sport, Rooney said: "It is some time since I said that the only Premier League club I would play for other than Manchester United was Everton, so I am delighted that the move has happened.
"Thirteen years ago I went to United with the intention of winning trophies and I have been fortunate to be a part of one of the most successful periods in the club's history.
"I have come back to Everton because I believe Ronald Koeman is building a team that can win something and I look forward to playing my part in making that a reality for the club I have supported since I was a boy."
