Hibernian winger Ivan Sproule claims he turned down the chance of more money in England to return to Easter Road.[LNB] Sproule, who left Hibs for Bristol City four-years ago, admits he was delighted when current boss Colin Calderwood got in touch.[LNB]The 30-year-old said: "I want to enjoy my football again, to have that spring in my step and I knew the only way to do that was to come back here.[LNB]"I'd thoroughly enjoyed my time at Bristol City, I have good memories but when I left here there was something missing and I always knew I would love to come back one day although I never knew if it would quite happen.[LNB]"There was a change of manager at Bristol early last season when Steve Coppell left and I just didn't seem to feature in the plans.[LNB]"To be honest, there were moves for me to stay in England, there is a lot of money down there as you know but I was keen for that phone call from Hibs to come.[LNB]"When it did I came up, spoke to the gaffer and I knew straight away I wanted to come back because he has great ideas for the club."
