Enda Stevens excited about his Aston Villa move

Enda Stevens is excited about his move to Aston Villa.

Villa yesterday confirmed they reached an agreement with Shamrock Rovers to sign Republic of Ireland Under 21 international defender Stevens in January.

Stevens, 21, was part of the team that beat Partizan Belgrade to reach the Europa League group stages and will remain with Shamrock until the new year.

He said: "This is massive for me. It's a dream come true. I never expected it to come as soon as it has, especially after the last few games in Europe.

"I grew up following and watching the Premier League and I can dream of playing in it now. Villa have had some great Irish players and been very good for Irish players. I'm a player who likes to get forward, can defend and I like to play football. I like to get the ball down and play."
