Warnock Joins Villa

Aston Villa completed the signing of Blackburn Rovers defender Stephen Warnock for an undisclosed fee.

Warnock has put pen to paper on a four-year contract which will keep him at Villa Park until the summer of 2013.

He told the club's official website: "The main aim is pushing for that top four spot. That's the ambition. The manager is buying some really talented players - young and ambitious - and I'm sure they will see that top four spot as a target and goal."

The former Liverpool player added: "Playing in Europe is important - playing against the top players on the continent is fantastic - and there's no better stage to do that than in the Champions League. If we could do that, it would be a great achievement."

Warnock, 27, passed a medical and agreed personal terms on Wednesday afternoon and could come into contention for Sunday's home Barclays Premier League match with Fulham.
