Jedinak to leave Villa, Dean Smith treatment to blame for exit – opinion

Mile Jedinak looks on his way out of Aston Villa, with the defensive-midfielder out of contract next summer and currently out of favour under Dean Smith. The Australian international has received an offer from Macarthur-South West Sydney to return to his homeland and The World Game believe he’s keen on making the switch.

The former Sydney United man has fallen down the pecking order this season, with Glenn Whelan, John McGinn and Birkir Bjarnason all preferred in midfield. Jedinak has made nine Championship appearances, eight of which have come at centre-back, and the last of which was on September 28 against Bristol City.
