| TORONTO -- Canadian international Dwayne De Rosario is happy to be back home, saying he has unfinished business with Toronto FC. "This is my city," the Toronto native said upon his arrival Wednesday night. And the 35-year-old former league MVP says he is hoping to making 2014 a memorable year. "Im really looking forward to it," De Rosario told The Canadian Press. "I like the vision that (MLSE president) Tim Leiweke has. Its along the same lines and goals that I had when I came here the first time round." "For me when I left, it felt like there was some unfinished business that I still need to take care of," he added. Toronto FC scheduled a news conference for Thursday afternoon at BMO Field to herald his return. De Rosario currently ranks sixth on the all-time MLS scoring list with 103 goals. Twenty-seven of those came in a Toronto jersey from 2009 to 2011. He was traded to New York just two games into the 2011 season after a public contract dispute that included De Rosario celebrating a goal at home by pretending to sign a cheque. Toronto selected De Rosario in Stage 2 of the MLS re-entry draft last month after D.C. United opted not to pick up his option at the end of the season. Had De Rosario not agreed to Torontos contract offer, TFC would have held the right of first refusal for the attacking midfielder in MLS. De Rosario made US$654,300 in 2013 but will undoubtedly earn less in Toronto, which will be looking for the Canadian international to mentor younger players while offering support to a new-look marquee attack. He will be joining a club that is making bold moves. England striker Jermain Defoe is set to be unveiled next Monday, according to a source, and multiple reports have the club making a move for U.S. international midfielder Michael Bradley. Brazilian striker Gilberto signed on last month. De Rosario said the influx of talent is good but it will be up to the senior players "to make sure everyone is on the same page. "Because the sooner we gel, I think the better off it is for everybody." De Rosario wants to play a role on and off the pitch, stressing his passion remains playing. "Theres stuff I want to accomplish individually and collectively as a team," he said. The main goal is success for the team. De Rosario, a 13-year MLS veteran, has played 324 regular-season and 24 playoff games in MLS. He started his career with San Jose and Houston, winning four league titles. A finalist for MVP in 2005 and 2006, he has been chosen to the leagues Best XI six times. De Rosario has also captured MLS Goal of the Year honours twice, in 2004 and 2005. He hoisted the MLS Cup in 2001 and 2003 with San Jose and 2006 and 2007 with Houston, earning MLS Cup MVP honours in 2001 and 2007. DeRo finished 2011 with D.C. United, winning the Golden Boot as the leagues top scorer and MVP honours. De Rosario, who said he had other options in terms of clubs last month, hopes to reclaim his No. 14 jersey in Toronto. "This is 2014, so it kind of goes together hand in hand," he said with a laugh. Marcel Schmelzer Jersey . Kyle Denbrook, a soccer player from Saint Marys University, took the CIS male athlete of the week honour. Stanley, a fourth-year business administration student from Charlottetown, scored both goals in a 2-0 win over Dalhousie on Friday and tallied again in a 1-0 win over Saint Marys on Sunday. Sokratis Papastathopoulos Jersey . The union filed a grievance late Thursday, one day after Goodell suspended four players who participated in bounties from 2009-11. The complaint says Goodell is prohibited from punishing players for any aspect of the case occurring before the new collective bargaining agreement was signed last August. http://www.dortmundfcshop.com/c-38-maximilian-philipp-fc-borussia-dortmund-jersey.aspx.com) - Eric Fehrs goal 42 seconds into overtime lifted the Washington Capitals to a 5-4 come-from-behind victory over Columbus, halting the Blue Jackets seven-game win streak. Julian Weigl Jersey . -- The Phoenix Coyotes have won three in a row for the first time in 4 1/2 months, and theyve done it just in time for the stretch run to the playoffs. Jeremy Toljan Jersey . Ted Ligety, Mikaela Shiffrin, Bode Miller and Tim Jitloff underlined the squads enormous potential on the Rettenbach glacier in Austria.Tony Watt says he has grown up and vowed to prove his bad boy reputation is a thing of the past and earn a recall to the Scotland squad as he starts a season-long loan at Hearts. The former Celtic forward has moved to Tynecastle from Charlton for the season but knows he is as much remembered for his winning goal against Barcelona in 2012 as he is for the fall-outs he has had with a string of managers.Hearts are Watts eighth club at the age of 22 and he admits some of the negative public perception surrounding him, fuelled by criticism from former bosses such as Neil Lennon, has been self-inflicted but he says he has learned from the past. Watt scored against Barcelona in November 2012 He told Sky Sports News HQ: Ive learned to grow up, to become a man and to do as much as I can in football. Ive learned it is a hard game and sometimes you need to be home and get back to the basics. Hopefully I can be a big part of the team and help them kick on.I think I did well last season but I need to refresh my career and re-start back with good foundations around me.Nobody ever doubts my ability, it is always the attitude and everything. Without being cocky, I am a good player, I know I am, and it will just help me be more focused and more concentrated and driven. His coach at Belgian club Lierse, Stanley Menzo, branded him lazy and unfit and Watt has confessed he failed to train as hard as he should have but the former Standard Liege, Cardiff and Blackburn striker has vowed to show he is a reformed character.Maybe I was a bad trainer when I was younger and maybe I wasnt as professional as Id liked to have been, he said. It is hard to shake these reputations off but I am doing my best to get rid of it. I want to score goals and I want to work hard, that is how I will change that reputation.I came back up the road to be closer to my family. They are my support and my life. They mean the most to me and are helping me through everything. Watt has joined Hearts on loan from Charlton It annoys me a little that people have an opinion about me but dont really know me.dddddddddddd But I dont listen to people on the outside. I just focus on what my family say to me. All this negativity in the press obviously frustrates you as most of it is lies.But things are clearing up now and Im happy about that. Im more mature now but I dont think Im a different person.A lot of times during my career people have asked my agent what my attitude is like because they have heard things through the grapevine. Thats part of life. But if my ability shows what Im really made of here then everything that has gone before wont matter anymore. Watt also spent time on loan at Blackburn Rovers last season I want to show the world what I can do here at Hearts. Maybe Ive got a bit of a reputation here in Scotland but I know I will show people what Im capable of.Watt could make his Hearts debut against former side Celtic on the opening weekend of the new Premiership season, live on Sky Sports 5 on August 7, and he is hoping to make a positive impression on Gordon Strachan and win a Scotland recall. Watt made his Scotland debut against the Czech Republic It will be strange playing against Celtic, he said. But it doesnt faze me or scare me. I want to do my best for Hearts.Hopefully I can do well and eventually get back into the Scotland squad. I want to do my best and play football happy again. Ive had a bit of a stop-start, turbulent career. Now Ive got the chance to stay put for a while and start kicking on.
