Shaun Wright Phillips returned to Manchester City last night three years after leaving the club for Chelsea.
The England winger, who has struggled to establish himself at Stamford Bridge and lost his international place after his £21million move, cost City £9m.
Wright-Phillips had indicated he wanted to stay in the south but when the chance of a move to Portsmouth failed to materialise, he opted for a move back north.
He said: "I'm delighted to come back to City and I just can't wait to get started again."
City boss Mark Hughes said: "I've always admired him and he's been a target of mine since I came to the football club.
"To secure the deal and bring Shaun back home is a fantastic coup for us."
