He featured when they faced Barnet in a pre-season friendly in 2003, before a work permit problem stopped him from joining.

Toure penned an emotional letter to City fans after leaving the club this summer.

He said: “This is Toure Yaya, this is my personal message to you for all your support and all the things you‘ve been doing for me most especially for me and my family.

“I want you to understand that you made me who I am. It is only in City I achieved a lot of personal trophies like four times best African player in a roll, won trophies, week in week out playing games and was free of injuries.

“You‘ve always been behind me pushing me on to be able to be the best and today I want to say thank you and I appreciate all the time we ‘ve been together.

“To be honest this is the first time in my whole career I will be staying with a club for more than eight years. The love I have shared with you has been immense and incredible and I was thinking it will never end but now it has ended.

“You have to understand that you will always stay in my heart and maybe one time I will be very happy to come back.

“I think the thing my family and other persons close to me saying is the legacy I have left.

“What I have been thinking for this club and thinking for you is what is happening now and I want to say thank you and I hope you will continue to support this club and be the greatest fans I have.”
