Aston Villa have signed Scott Sinclair on a permanent basis from Manchester City.
The 26-year old winger joined Villa on loan in January and despite having an injury-interrupted run, has impressed enough to land a contract with the West Midlands club.
Sinclair, who has made 11 appearances for Villa this term, has signed a four-year contract at Villa Park for a reported fee of £2.5million.
He told the club's official website: "We've had a fantastic end to the current season - and now I am already looking forward to the new one.
"It was important for the family to have that stability and I'm thrilled it's with a club like Villa.
"This is the happiest I have been in a long time. Now it's about kicking on with my career in claret and blue.
"I have already loved every minute of playing for this club. To be a permanent Villa player now is a fantastic feeling."
