Former Newcastle United midfielder Ki Sung-yueng has rejoined FC Seoul after his move to Real Mallorca did not work out.
Ki had entered the final six months of his deal with the Magpies when he left the club by mutual consent on deadline day in January.
Although Ki held talks with FC Seoul, where he started his career, the former South Korea international ended up moving to Spain in February.
Ki made just one appearance during his short spell with Mallorca, as a late substitute in the 2-1 win at Eibar, and has now rejoined FC Seoul after the La Liga season ended.
Overall, it was a frustrating campaign for Ki - illness kept him out for a spell over the winter at Newcastle - and he made just five appearances in all for two clubs.
The midfielder's last start for Newcastle came in the 3-1 defeat at Norwich back in August and while his final few months at the club did not go as he hoped, Ki was refreshingly honest about his own performances.
"I don't blame anyone because I haven't performed well, I think," he told the club's programme back in January. "Of course, there are a lot of reasons why I haven't performed well but, at the end of the day, I haven't performed well so I don't blame anyone.
"But I was very happy when I was playing in front of the fans because they're massive fans and supporters.
"If I go somewhere else, I'm still proud of Newcastle - it's a big club for me and I really enjoy playing in front of a lot of passion.
"We have to see what is going to happen, but I'm still proud of all the fans and the club."
