Wayne Rooney played in the Milk Cup in 2000

Everton star Wayne Rooney will be in Belfast on 13 May to make the draw for the 2003 Milk Cup.

Rooney played in the youth tournament as a member of Everton's Under-14 side in 2000.

Now he returns as the hottest prospect in English football, having recently signed a lucrative professional contract with the Merseyside club.

The 17-year-old made his full debut for England on 2 April, inspiring them to a 2-0 win over Turkey in Sunderland.

Rooney will be accompanied on the trip by Everton manager David Moyes whose father, also David, has been a keen supporter of the Milk Cup down the years.

The Milk Cup tournament is held annually in the north-west region of Northern Ireland.

The 2003 week-long competition begins on Saturday 19 July.
