Former English Premier League club, Aston Villa, have confirmed that they have signed Ritchie De Laet from EPL champions, Leicester City.

Aston Villa manager, Roberto Di Matteo, said that the club is very pleased to have the 27-year old Belgian on their team:
“…I’m pleased to have brought Ritchie to the club…He is … a player who not only has Championship experience but has also played a part in helping a team win promotion back to the Premier League,” he said.
