Wilfred Bouma is delighted to have secured a return to PSV Eindhoven.

The 32-year-old yesterday signed a two-year deal at the club, five years after leaving the Philips Stadion for Aston Villa.

He was a regular at Villa until a broken leg curtailed his progress and he was released on a free transfer at the end of last season.

It is up to the coach to decide when he needs me but I would like to show I can still contribute.

The 32-year-old joined up with PSV to maintain his fitness levels but a contract offer soon materialised and Bouma was happy to commit himself to the Eindhoven club.

He told the club's official website: "It is up to the coach to decide when he needs me but I would like to show I can still contribute.

"PSV is a team with great potential. I am very happy to be back at PSV."
