Manchester City have completed the signing of
their former winger Shaun Wright-Phillips from
Chelsea.
England's Wright-Phillips, 26, has signed a four-year contract
at the City of Manchester Stadium having rejoined for an
undisclosed fee.
He told the club's website: "Obviously I'm delighted to come
back to City and I can't wait to get started again."
Manager Mark Hughes added: "I've always admired Shaun and he's
been a target of mine since I came to the club."
Wright-Phillips left City to join Chelsea for £21m in July 2005,
but struggled to hold down a regular place in his three years in
London.
He made only 43 Premier League starts, scoring four times, as he
fell out of England reckoning too.
"To actually secure the deal and bring Shaun back home is a
fantastic coup for us," said Hughes.
"I'm sure the supporters will be just as excited as we are to
have him back at Manchester City."
In his previous spell at City, Wright-Phillips made 181
appearances and scored 31 times.
