Veteran Danish international midfielder Martin Jorgensen returned to his first club, Danish First Division side Aarhus, on a one year contract on Monday from Serie A outfit Fiorentina.
The 34-year-old – capped 93 times scoring 12 goals – began his career with Aarhus where he played from 1994-96 before leaving for Italy, playing for Udinese from 1997-2004 and since then with Fiorentina.
“It has been a long birth,” said Jorgensen, referring to the drawnout talks between Aarhus and Fiorentina over the transfer.
“I am happy that I will be able to play more football here than I was getting in Italy,” he added.
Jorgensen, who has appeared for Denmark at two World Cup finals and two European championship finals, is desperate for regular first team football so he can make the 2010 World Cup finals squad having started just twice for Fiorentina this season.
