The England International joins an ever growing contingent of English players at Villa Park.
Villa’s official website stated that “Villa have completed the signing of England international Stewart Downing.
“The four-year deal was finalised after the left-sided star agreed terms and passed a medical.
“Downing becomes Martin O’Neill’s first summer signing and adds more quality to the manager’s claret and blue squad.”
Downing however is still recovering from foot surgery and will not expected to be fully fit until at least October.
