Mungo Bridge has joined French side FC Annecy on a season-long loan deal.

The central defender, 20, made his first-team debut for Aston Villa in last season’s FA Cup third-round tie against Liverpool and featured for the club’s Under 23s in Premier League 2.

Annecy are currently fifth in Championnat National, the third tier in France.

Good luck, Mungo.
