ASTON VILLA Under-18 coach David Hughes is leaving the club to become Southampton’s first Head of Academy Player Development.

WEST BROM Academy Manager Mark Harrison has left the club to take up the same role at near neighbours Aston Villa.

INJURY specialist John Hartley found an unused Biodex machine in a storage room when he arrived at Aston Villa. Now he uses it every day and says it has "massive value".

THE FA laid down exactly what it means to be an England international in 2014 - and many clubs are now following suit.
