Spurned Brooks aims to impress

- BY ALEX CROOK

BOURNEMOUT­H winger David Brooks plans to show Manchester City what they are missing today.

The Wales internatio­nal returns to the Etihad for the first time since being let go by City as a teenager.

“It will be nice to go back there and hopefully play,” said Brooks, (right). “I was there 10 years and did not make the cut for pro contracts. I was released and had to dust myself off. Thankfully, I’ve made it back to the Premier League.”

“You’d like to do well to show them what they’re missing but I think they’re doing all right for themselves at the moment anyway!”
