DONE DEAL: Aston Villa striker Barry excited by challenge after joining MK Dons

MK Dons have signed teenage winger Louie Barry from Aston Villa on loan.

The 19-year-old England youth international spent last season on loan at Ipswich Town and Swindon Town.

"I'm very pleased to be here," Barry told the club's website. "I spoke with the Gaffer and he sold it to me. I had a lot of interest this summer but this move really suits me so I went with my gut instinct and I'm really excited it's all come together.

"I was very pleased with how things went with Swindon. I needed to do well there and the positive experiences help me come here with confidence and hopefully I can put that into my time here at MK Dons to help us push on.

"I spoke with Kaine (Kesler Hayden) who was here last season – we had the same route. It worked well for Kaine and while that doesn't necessarily mean it will work for me, it does paint a good picture for me as to what I can achieve.

"I am just really excited to get to work. I am looking forward to enjoying my football here in front of the fans and hopefully I can help the team achieve its aims."
