Reds’ Agger returns to Brondby

LIVERPOOL defender Daniel Agger has returned to Danish side Brondby, the club where he started his career, for an undisclosed fee, the English Premier League club said yesterday.

The 29-year-old, who won the double with Brondby in 2005, became the country’s most expensive export when the Reds paid a reported 6 million pounds (US$9.96 million) for him in 2006.

The tough-tackling defender has been dogged by a series of persistent injuries over the last year and with the arrival of Dejan Lovren from Southampton during the close season, Agger has slipped down the pecking order at Anfield.

“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,” Agger told www.liverpoolfc.com. “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.”
