Shay Joins Villa

Aston Villa have confirmed the signing of former Toon goalkeeper Shay Given on a five-year deal. Given, 35, is the Republic of Ireland's most capped player. The former Blackburn and Newcastle keeper moved to City in 2009 for £7million but found first-team opportunities limited last season after England's Joe Hart became Roberto Mancini's preferred option.
