Joseph Yobo has rejoined Fenerbahce on a season-long loan.
The Nigerian defender spent last season on loan in Turkey, helping the Istanbul outfit secure the league championship.
Fenerbahce were keen to retain the services of the player, who is 31 on Tuesday and a new loan deal was completed before the Turkish transfer deadline passes at 10pm on Monday.
Yobo had looked set to join Fenerbahce at the end of the 2010/11 campaign but instead returned to Merseyside and reported for pre-season training in July.

It became apparent during preparations for the new campaign that his immediate future lay away from Everton and he didn’t feature in any of the Club’s pre-season fixtures.
Yobo, whose Everton contract runs until 2014, joined Everton in 2002, is Nigeria’s captain and has made over 250 appearances for the Toffees.
His last appearance for Everton was in May 2010 in a 0-0 draw at Stoke.
