Ivory Coast striker Wilfried Bony is back in football after more than a year without a club.
The ex-Manchester City and Swansea City player has signed for Dutch Eredivisie side NEC Nijmegen.
The 33-year-old left Saudi Arabian side Al Ittihad in November 2020, and has been training in Wales with League Two side Newport County since then.
Bony had huge success when he last played in the Eredivisie, nearly 10 years ago.
He was top scorer in the league in 2012-13 with 31 goals for Vitesse Arnhem.
But his association with Arnhem, NEC’s great rivals, means not everyone has welcomed his arrival back in the Dutch top flight.
Angry fans attached banners to the club’s stadium declaring their opposition to the move, with two messages declaring ‘Bony NEVER in our colours’ and ‘Bony NOT welcome’.
