Aston Villa Loans U.S. Forward Indiana Vassilev to League One's Burton Albion

Indiana Vassilev will be dropping down a pair of divisions in order to receive more playing time this season.

The 19-year-old Aston Villa forward will be spending the season on loan at League One's Burton Albion, the two clubs announced on Thursday. Vassilev made six appearances with Villa's first team last season and scored six goals for the club's U-23 side, but he remains further down in manager Dean Smith's pecking order.

"I’m super happy to sign for Burton Albion and to give all I can for the club," Vassilev told his new club's official website.
