Aston Villa are delighted to confirm that Shay Given will be unveiled
tomorrow as the club’s new goalkeeper, having agreed a five-year deal to
June 2016.
The 35-year-old Republic of Ireland international completed a medical over
the weekend and the formality of his signing this morning.
He will be available for Thursday’s friendly fixture against Walsall at the
Banks’s Stadium and for the club’s participation in the Barclays Asia
Trophy next week.
“Aston Villa is a huge football club and I’m really excited to be
joining,” Given said. “I’m looking forward to training and playing with
the players here. They’re a good bunch of lads, very talented and I know
several of them already which will help.
Villa manager Alex McLeish said: “Shay has come here probably with
something of a point to prove and that won’t do any harm at all.
“Everybody who has watched him perform over many years in the Premier
League will know his pedigree, so we believe we have secured the services of
one of the best goalkeepers in the business.
“He’s a real competitor and a world-class keeper and I’m delighted he’s
the first signing I’ve made at Villa.” |
