Richardson completes move to Aston Villa

Kieran Richardson has joined Aston Villa on a two-year contract after being allowed to leave Fulham.

The 29-year-old, who scored four times as the Whites dropped out of the Premier League last season, completed a medical at Villa Park on Friday.

Richardson made 48 appearances after joining Fulham from Sunderland in the summer of 2012, playing at left wing and left-back.

Another former Fulham player, centre-back Philippe Senderos, joined Villa earlier this summer.
