Aston Villa is delighted to announce the signing of Álex Moreno for an undisclosed fee.

The defender joins Villa from Real Betis in his native Spain, with whom he won the Copa del Rey last season.

Comfortable playing as either a left-sided full-back or in a more advanced position on the left flank, the 29-year-old has also played for Mallorca, Elche and Rayo Vallecano during his career to date.

Head Coach Unai Emery said: "Álex is a good player that can help our squad. He has been one of the top left-backs in La Liga over the past few seasons and we are delighted to have him here."

Moreno’s move is subject to international clearance and a successful visa application.

Welcome, Álex! 🇪🇸
