Aston Villa send Callum Robinson to Bristol City on loan

Callum Robinson has left Aston Villa to join Championship side Bristol City on a season-long loan.

The 20-year-old forward leaves his parent club for a second time after spending last term on loan at Preston North End.

"He's the type of player we've been looking to bring in; someone who can play wide left in a three or in one of the striking roles," Robins boss Steve Cotterill told the club website.

"Callum is a young player who will bring bundles of pace and energy."

Robinson scored seven goals in 28 Preston appearances last season, including one hat-trick in the FA Cup against Havant & Waterlooville.
