Aston Villa can confirm Indiana Vassilev has completed a permanent transfer to St. Louis City SC for an undisclosed fee.
The striker returns to his native USA following loan spells in recent seasons with Inter Miami.
He has also spent time on loan in the UK with Burton Albion and Cheltenham Town, winning the League Two title in 2021 with the latter.
Vassilev made six first-team appearances for Villa during his time at the club.
Aston Villa striker Brad Young has been recalled from his loan spell at Ayr United.
The 20-year-old, an FA Youth Cup winner with Villa in 2021, joined the Scottish outfit last summer on a season-long loan.
During his time at Somerset Park, he made 13 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals.
