Welsh defender James Collins insists that rejoining West Ham United was an easy decision for him to make.

James Collins has revealed that rejoining West Ham United was an easy decision to make.

The Welsh defender left Upton Park for Aston Villa in 2009 following a four-year stint with the club.

However, having learned that the Hammers were keen to secure his services for a second time, the 28-year-old has admitted that he had no hesitation about signing a four-year contract.

"I had a great affinity with the club and the fans when I was here the first time and enjoyed my time here so much last time that it wasn't a hard decision to make, to be honest," he told the club's official website.

Collins made 54 appearances during his first spell with West Ham.
