Aston Villa youngster Kaine Kesler Hayden has joined Swindon Town on a season-long loan.

The 18-year-old, who captained Villa to FA Youth Cup glory last term, links up with the League Two side ahead of the 2021/22 campaign, with the club holding an option to recall him in January. 

Kesler Hayden signed a new five-year contract in July - six months after making his senior debut against Liverpool in the FA Cup third round. 

Swindon, led by manager Ben Garner, are looking to secure an immediate return to League One after suffering relegation last term. 

Good luck at Swindon, Kaine!
