Bennett buggers off to Brighton

Brighton & Hove Albion have taken Joe Bennett off our hands on a season-long loan.


Rumours about a possible deal had surfaced after Joe was spotted at Brighton's game on Tuesday night.

Seagulls' head honcho Sami Hyypia beamed, "I'm delighted we have agreed with Joe and Aston Villa to bring him here on a season-long loan.

"He is a dynamic left-back, who's very comfortable on the ball. He's very mobile and will suit the way we want to play.

"He is a good footballer, who knows how to use the ball and I hope he will be a very good player for us.

"At 24 he has a good deal of experience, both in the Championship with Middlesbrough and in the Premier League with Aston Villa, and that too is key."

Joe made 29 appearances for the claret and blues in his first season - 2012-13 - but could only muster seven in 2013-14.

He joined us August 2012 from Middlesbrough.
