FORMER Wanderers midfielder Jack Wilshere is back in football after joining Danish club Aarhus.

The 30-year-old has signed until the end of the season with an option to extend and will wear the number 10 shirt.

Wilshere joined the Whites on loan from Arsenal in 2010 and impressed during his time at the UniBol.

After returning to the Emirates, the midfielder went on to win the FA Cup twice and was also capped 34 times by England.

He was released by Bournemouth last year and has recently been training with the Gunners.

“I am at a point in my career where I need to get started again after a difficult period,” said Wilshere.

“I am very grateful for the opportunity AGF has offered me and I will do everything I can to help the team move forward. I am very much looking forward to contributing to the team.

"I'm physically in really good shape and I feel fit, so now for me it's about getting into the squad and see if I can earn some playing time for the club and contribute to get some wins."

Aarhus currently sit seventh in the Superliga table, with four games remaining before the league splits into two groups - championship and relegation.

"He is in good physical shape, but of course lacks some combat training,” added manager Stig Inge Bjornebye.

"It will probably come, and we look forward to seeing him in the white jersey when he has fallen well into place."
