City let Sinclair go on loan

London - Manchester City winger Scott Sinclair has joined
Aston Villa on loan for the rest of the season, the Premier
League clubs said on Friday.
The 25-year-old has failed to secure a regular place in the
City side since his move to the Etihad Stadium from
Swansea City in 2012 and has made only two
appearances in the league this season.
Sinclair spent last season on loan at West Bromwich
Albion, making 11 appearances in all competitions.
Champions City said the temporary deal with Villa could
be made permanent at the end of the campaign.
"I am still hungry to play football, that's what I told him
(Villa manager Paul Lambert), and I'm looking forwarding
to getting started, hopefully playing every week and
enjoying my football," Sinclair said in a statement on
Villa's website (www.avfc.co.uk).
"I believe I have my best years ahead of me. This is a
new challenge, a new chapter in my life, and hopefully I
can settle in as quickly as possible, have a good start and
go from there."
