Wayne Rooney has signed up to front a new series of Street Striker for Sky1.

The three-part series will return next month and sees the Manchester United star visit housing estates and car parks in search of new footballing talent.

"We discovered some great players last year and I can't wait to begin this year's search," said Rooney. "There's so much untapped football talent out there and it's great that we're giving these players the opportunity to gain recognition."

The winner of the series will receive two tickets to the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final in South Africa and join Rooney for part of the GB leg of the FIFA WC Trophy Tour in March 2010.

Coke Zero Presents: Wayne Rooney's Street Striker begins Sunday, November 8 at 6pm on Sky1.
