Aston Villa is pleased to confirm the signing of Ben Chrisene from Exeter City.
The 16-year-old midfielder moves to Villa for an undisclosed fee and goes straight into the academy set-up.
Chrisene is a product of the youth system at St James Park and made his senior debut for the Grecians last August in the Carabao Cup, becoming the club’s youngest-ever player in the process.
Mark Harrison, Academy Manager, said: “We are delighted to have secured Ben’s signature. He’s a very talented youngster who we are very pleased to have at the club.
“I would like to thank the owners, the Board and the CEO for their support in bringing talent like Ben’s to Aston Villa and for their ongoing backing in helping us to work towards our shared vision of a thriving and successful academy.”
