Aston Villa have signed Tim Iroegbunam.

The midfielder, 18, joins Villa's Academy from West Bromwich Albion, where he came through the ranks after joining their Under-8s.

Iroegbunam has attended England age group training camps in the past and Academy manager Mark Harrison believes he has a bright future.

Harrison said: “Tim is an athletic midfielder who is technically very good.

“He has the ability to play as a holding midfielder or a box-to-box midfielder, who can contribute in both penalty areas.

“Tim has a lot of potential and we look forward to seeing him develop over the next few years."
