Villa management delighted with Boyd signing coup

A senior debutant at 16 for Aberdeen, Boyd signed for Villa last week. He is also Aberdeen's youngest goalscorer.

Villa academy manager Mark Harrison said: “We’re delighted Fletcher has joined us, he is a player our recruitment department have been monitoring for a while.

“He has good technical attributes and can play in a variety of attacking positions as well as in midfield.

“He also has experience of playing in Aberdeen’s first team, which is invaluable as a young player.

“We look forward to seeing how Fletcher develops over the coming seasons.”
