Liverpool defender Daniel Agger returns to Brondby

Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has rejoined Brondby.

The 29-year-old started his career with the Danish club, whom he left to join the Reds in January 2006.

However, after nine years at Anfield, he has now secured a return to the Brondby Stadium.

Speaking to Liverpool's official website, Agger has revealed that he turned down numerous other clubs to re-sign for Drengene Fra Vestegnen.

"Liverpool have been such a big part of my life and my family's lives for so long, that leaving is extremely difficult," said the centre-back. "The opportunity arose for me to return home to Brondby and at this stage of my career it felt like the right decision for me.

"I wouldn't leave here to go anywhere else and that has been proven by my actions in recent seasons. I have turned down many offers to move to other Premier League and European clubs.

"I would like to thank the Liverpool supporters for the incredible backing they have given me in my time here and the warmth and generosity of spirit displayed to my family.

Agger made a total of 232 appearances for Liverpool.
