Retired former New York Yankees outfielder Hideki Matsui will observe the Yomiuri Giants' spring training camp in Miyazaki on Feb. 3-4, Giants team representative Atsushi Harasawa revealed on Friday.

The news came a day after it was announced that Matsui will visit the Yokohama BayStars' spring training camp in Ginowan, Okinawa Prefecture, from Feb. 5-7.

"He'll be coming as a former player of our club to encourage the team," said Harasawa.

Matsui, who played for the Giants in the first 10 seasons of his career before joining the Yankees, spent nearly two weeks instructing players from his former club as a temporary coach last year.
