Aston Villa's Morocco international midfielder Karim El Ahmadi has rejoined Feyenoord on a three-year deal for a £750,000 fee.
Karim El Ahmadi is delighted to be rejoining his former club Feyenoord
The 29-year-old played for the Dutch club between 2008-2012, spending the first half of 2011 on loan at United Arab Emirates side Al Ahli.
The midfielder had one year left on his Villa Park contract but had fallen out of contention under manager Paul Lambert, despite making 33 appearances in all competitions last season.
El Ahmadi arrived at Villa Park in 2012 having spent four years at Feyenoord.
And the Moroccan international has revealed his delight at being reunited with his old club.
'I've always said I wanted to return to Feyenoord some time,' he said.
'That time has come. In my first period at this club Feyenoord was growing and that growth has continued in recent years.
'I'm really looking forward to playing in a full De Kuip again and sharing my experience with the other Feyenoord players.
'I'm also relishing teaming up again with Fred Rutten (Feyenoord boss), who was very important for me at the start of my career at FC Twente.'
