Video: Micah Richards sings Usher tune at Aston Villa initiation

Micah Richards decided to pick an Usher song to perform for his Aston Villa initiation in Portugal this week.

The 27-year-old, who is abroad with his new teammates for pre-season, joined the Midlands outfit on a four-year deal last month.

To welcome the full-back into the team, Villa put Richards through the traditional initiation, which involved performing a song in front of the squad.

The former Manchester City player, who spent last season on loan at Fiorentina, opted to sing Usher's 1998 Nice and Slow hit and the performance was captured on film by Alan Hutton.

Nice mate!!! Welcome to the team!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😷 #UTV @micahrichards
