Bent rules out Aston Villa exit

Bent joined Villa from Sunderland in the January transfer window and the striker insists he will not be leaving the club despite the departure of former manager Gerard Houllier.

“They (the fans) don’t need to worry about me. I’m tired of moving around,” said Bent

“I am at Aston Villa now and I have loved every minute I have been at the club. The people are nice and the staff are nice.

“It’s a shame that a big part of what brought me to the club, Gerard Houllier, has left.

“But at the same time I am committed to Aston Villa and I am looking forward to the season coming.

“Every time I go to the training ground, I get a buzz and hopefully it will continue next season.”
