Steven Pienaar has returned to the Premier League after Sunderland announced today he had been signed on till the end of the season.
The former South African international was reportedly on the verge of a return to South Africa’s Premier Soccer League until his erstwhile manager at Everton, David Moyes offered him a chance to train with the Black Cats.
Sunderland have thus completed the signing of the midfielder on a short-term deal until the end of the season.
Pienaar was a free agent after leaving Everton at the end of last season, having made almost 200 appearances for the Toffees over two spells.
He will be reunited with David Moyes, the manager who brought him to England in 2007 from Borussia Dortmund.
Steven began his career with Ajax Cape Town before joining their parent Club, Ajax Amsterdam in Holland, where he will go on to win six domestic trophies, including two Eredivisie titles.
His exploits alerted Borussia Dortmund in a big ,money move before heading to the Premier League with the Blues.
He moved to Tottenham Hotspur briefly before returning to Goodison Park.
