Aston Villa chief Paul Faulkner says more signings will follow Brett Holman.
Holman is joining Villa at the end of the season.
After confirming the Bosman signing of Australian international Holman from AZ Alkmaar, Faulkner said: "It has been a challenging year in parts this season, but it's all about continuing to get better.
"We are looking to bring players into the squad to do that and then grow our own."
