Aston Villa midfielder Lee Hendrie has admitted to some second thoughts about leaving the club at this time.

Hendrie explained to the club's website: "In many ways I am leaving at the wrong time, but I have had some superb times. I have had some bad times, but in football who doesn't have bad times?

"It is how you pick yourself up. I always gave my all when I played here, I always gave my best and worked hard.

"And the fans were good to me. They put up with me and I have to thank them for that. Whenever I am not playing I will be here supporting them, particularly against Blues!"
