I am happy to be here. It took a few weeks to sort out but I am delighted to be back and excited to play for Everton, Pienaar told Everton s official website.
There was no doubt in my mind that I would be back here. At the end of the season, I told the manager how I felt and I am happy now it is all done.

Julio Cesar set for San Siro exit
, Brazil international goalkeeper Julio Cesar will not play for Italian giants Internazionale Milano next season.
Cesar, a five-time Serie A champion, broke the news on Facebook.
These have been seven really beautiful years and plenty of them successful, he wrote.
But in a few days my adventure with Inter will be at an end. I thank all of you fans for the support you gave me in this time and I wish you every happiness in the future.
Samir Handanovic, who Inter signed from Udinese earlier this month, is expected to be the No. 1 goalkeeper for the Nerazzurri in 2012-13.
North London is a potential landing sport for Cesar, with Tottenham Hotspur in the market for a goalkeeper.
Spurs have been linked with Olympique Lyonnais shot-stopper Hugo Lloris, but Cesar, 32, could be a cheaper alternative for Andre Villas-Boas side.
