JAKARTA - Only two seasons in Everton's uniform, Theo Walcott moved to Southampton. Walcott could not hide his happiness to be back at the club where he started his career.
The 31-year-old England international, who made his senior debut with Southampton at the age of 16, is returning to his hometown club after 14 years leaving him to join Arsenal.
Great to be back at St. Petersburg Marys for the season. I'm looking forward to joining up with the team this week and getting straight to work. Big season ahead 🟥⬜ #Saints @SouthamptonFC pic.twitter.com/ISqtoG206J

"Southampton Football Club is proud to announce that Theo Walcott, one of the most rewarding academic graduates in its history, has returned to St Mary's," Southampton said as quoted by Antara.
Walcott, who spent 12 years at Arsenal before joining Everton in January 2018, has been a fringe figure at Goodison Park since Carlo Ancelotti became coach last season.
"I had a few opportunities from other clubs, but once Southampton came in for me it was part of me and what made me the player I am today. It's my heart," said Walcott.

"I probably cried, I think, the first time I played and it meant a lot to me. Everyone who made it happen, I can't thank you enough. To be honest I am very happy."
"I was really at a loss for words when Southampton came on the table, and for me it was an easy decision."
