Nathan Baker leaves as Matija Sarkic signs
Villa defender Nathan Baker has joined Championship side Bristol City on a season-long loan.
Published
The 24-year-old centre-back signed a new four-year deal at Villa Park in July.
But with the claret and blues set to complete the signing of Joleon Lescott from Albion, boss team Sherwood cannot guarantee Baker first-team football and so has opted to move him out on loan.
Baker enjoyed loan spells at Lincoln City and Millwall earlier in his career and will link up with fellow Villa loanee Callum Robinson at Ashton Gate.
Meanwhile goalkeeper Matija Sarkic has arrived from Anderlecht
The 18-year-old stopper has penned a three-year deal at Villa Park and joins Brad Guzan, Mark Bunn and Jed Steer as goalkeepers at the club.
