Stuttgart misfit Hakan Yakin has returned to his homeland to sign for Young Boys Berne.

Stuttgart misfit Hakan Yakin has returned to his homeland to sign for Swiss outfit Young Boys Berne.

The talented international midfielder joined Stuttgart in a ‚é¼2.5 million move from Basel in January 2004 but never managed to establish himself at the Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadion.

Yakin spent the second half of last season at Turkish giants Galatasaray but failed to do enough to secure a permanent switch.

The 28-year-old schemer will now be hoping to resurrect his flagging career in his home country after agreeing a three-year deal with Berne.
