Bundesliga - Bayern Munich striker Roy Makaay has signed for Eredivisie club Feyenoord.

Makaay, 32, passed a medical on Thursday morning and the move was announced shortly afterwards.

"I, and Bayern Munich, would like to thank Roy Makaay for four successful years," Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told the club's official website.

"He was a very important player for Bayern who wanted to go back to his homeland. We wish him and his family all the best for the future."

Eindhoven club PSV were thought to be favourites to land Makaay, but ultimately their rivals from Rotterdam won the race.

"I had many good and interesting offers but I decided to return to Holland," Makaay told Bayern's website. "I am looking forward to the new challenge in Rotterdam and hope to help Feyenoord reconnect to their successful past."

Feyenoord are also expected to announce the acquisition of Wolfsburg defender Kevin Hofland, 28, once personal terms have been agreed and the player passes a medical.
