Robinho returns to Santos on one-year loan

Santos return for Robinho

AC Milan midfielder Robinho has rejoined his first ever club Santos on loan for one year.

The 30-year-old began his career at Santos and went on to make 110 appearances for the club before signing for Real Madrid in 2005.

Robinho told reporters: "This is my home. It's a place where I feel very good and where I came into the world of football."

The former Brazil international had a brief loan spell at the club back in 2010 when he was at Manchester City.

Robinho has made over 100 appearances for AC Milan, scoring 25 goals, but has failed to find form and fitness since arriving at the San Siro.
