Finley Thorndike has left Aston Villa for Birmingham City.

The 20-year-old has signed a two-year pro contract.

"I am very excited. I think it is time to properly kick on in my career and get started properly,"

"I am a midfield player, more creative on the ball, score goals, create goals and try and put on a bit of a show as well.

"I have always been a Blues fan, ever since I was little – my dad is a Blues fan."
