LONDON - Manchester United's former England soccer captain Wayne Rooney on Sunday rejoined his boyhood club Everton on a two-year deal after 13 trophy-laden years at Old Trafford. Winning trophies with Everton "would be the pinnacle," Rooney said. "It is never easy to see a great player playing less football than he would like and I could not stand in his way when he asked to go back to Everton." REAL CONTRIBUTIONEverton manager Ronald Koeman believes Rooney can make a real contribution to the Merseyside club next season. Rooney made 77 appearances for Everton and scored 17 goals between 2002 and 2004 when he left to join United.
