Neymar has confirmed he will be re-joining boyhood club Santos, 12 years after he first left to join Barcelona as one of the most promising youngsters to ever come out of Brazil.

Neymar's decision to potentially return to Santos stems from a difficult period at Al-Hilal. Injuries hampered his consistency, leading to his exclusion from the Saudi Arabian league.

Santos FC announces the return of Neymar, who re-signed after leaving Al-Hilal. The Brazilian star returns to his roots with a six-month deal.
