Skacel grateful for second chance at Tynecastle

Rudi Skacel declared he was wrong to leave Hearts four years ago after completing a return to Tynecastle on Thursday. Skacel arrived in Edinburgh after signing a one-year deal with a 12-month option, returning to the club he graced successfully in the 2005-06 season before leaving for Southampton in a £1.6million deal. Skacel scored 17 goals in his first season-long spell at Tynecastle, including a goal in the Scottish Cup final success over Gretna. "I'm glad I'm back," Skacel, who was a free agent after leaving Greek club Larissa, told the club`s official website. "I was very successful at Hearts, but I was young and at the time I trusted various people telling me it was the right time for me to go, but I was wrong. "Now I want to put the past behind me and I am very happy that the club gave me another chance to show my best and restore my career."
