Footballer Wayne Rooney has this week released a picture of himself after undergoing a hair transplant.

Rooney had been spotted emerging from a Harley Street clinic last week, sporting a baseball cap, before being driven off. However, he has since been very open about his hair transplant, even posting an early picture of the procedure results on his Twitter page.

Although some of his team mates have teased him slightly, he told his 780,000 followers, "Just to confirm to all my followers I have had a hair transplant. I was going bald at 25 why not [sic]. I'm delighted with the result…” He added that it was still a little bloody, but that was normal, and he was now waiting for it to grow. He also thanked the staff who had looked after him at the clinic.

His wife Coleen has also taken to her own Twitter account to tell followers that she is pleased for Wayne and thought he looked great after his hair transplant. However, she pointed out that the decision was entirely his own and was not influenced by her. The Rooneys are now said to be on holiday in Barbados.
