Aston Villa sign Micah Richards

By , Reporter
Aston Villa announce the signing of defender Micah Richards on a free transfer.

Aston Villa have announced the signing of defender Micah Richards on a four-year deal.

The 26-year-old joins the Villans on a Bosman after being released by Manchester City and will officially seal the deal on July 1.

Villa manager Tim Sherwood told the club's official website: "I'm really pleased to get Micah on board and I'm sure he will prove to be an excellent signing for the football club."

Richards rose through the ranks at City but found first-team chances limited under Manuel Pellegrini and spent last season on loan with Fiorentina.

He has 13 England caps under his belt.
