Craig Bellamy says he has joined Championship side Cardiff City on a season-long loan deal from Premier League Manchester City to "come home".
The striker, 31, added there were no hard feelings towards Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini after being left out of their plans for the season.
"My wife and kids live here and I've spent the last six years travelling up and down the road," said Bellamy.
"I left home at 15. I've always wanted to come back," the Wales captain said.
The deal has left Scottish club Motherwell fuming over what they say is a £175,000 debt owed to them by Cardiff after Paul Quinn joined the Bluebirds in the summer of 2009.
Motherwell say they are considering issuing a winding-up order against the Bluebirds to recoup the money.

According to the Daily Star, Cardiff are contributing £20k to Bellamys wage.

Still way above the average wage of a Championship Footballer. It's baffling for Cardiff to splash out on such big wages for a player yet being subject to winding up orders. This is where a transfer embargo should be put in place.
With Man City not wanting to let Bellamy play for another Premiership team incase if he ships in plenty of goals, i'm surprised Cardiff are having to make so much of a contribution to his wages.
