Wayne Rooney can't stop smiling as he trains with Everton for the first time since sealing emotional return from Manchester United

Wayne Rooney has trained with his Everton team-mates for the first time after securing an emotional return to his boyhood club.

Thirteen years after leaving Goodison Park for Manchester United, where he subsequently won every honour in the English game and became the Red Devils' all-time leading scorer, Rooney is back in Blue after returning to the Toffees on a free transfer.

The move was announced on Sunday afternoon and, 24 hours later, he was out on the training field with his new team-mates at Everton's Finch Farm training base as the former England captain got to work.

He did so with a smile on his face, as he let out a boyish grin similar to the one seen so regularly when he burst onto the scene in 2002.

 Prior to the session he was pictured arriving at the club's training base on Monday morning, wearing a black jumper and jeans, and subsequently took to social media to express his excitement at getting out on the training field for the first time.

Alongside a picture of himself in Everton kit the striker, whose two-year deal is worth £150,000 a week, wrote 'Time to get started! #EFC.' 

He joins a squad including a number of familiar faces, such as former Manchester United team-mates Morgan Schneiderlin and Michael Keane, as well as England colleagues Leighton Baines, Phil Jagielka and Ross Barkley.
