Jack Wilshere has former Liverpool man to thank for surprise football return

Former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has finally ended his hiatus from football after signing for Danish Superliga club Aarhus Gymnastikforening.

The 30-year-old had been training with the Gunners following his release from Bournemouth nine months ago and can thank a former Liverpool stalwart for his return to football.

Stig Inge Bjornebye, who spent eight seasons at Anfield during the 90s, is the sporting director of Aarhus, commonly known as AGF, and he can be seen analysing one of Wilshere’s goals in the welcome video the club posted on social media.
