Aston Villa have appointed Aaron Danks as their new first-team coach.
The 38-year-old has signed for the club from Anderlecht in Belgium, taking the place of departed John Terry.
Danks will serve as an assistant to manager Dean Smith for this season and beyond at the Villa Park club.
The Birmingham-born coach spent a decade with West Bromwich Albion, before joining the Football Association in 2016.
He subsequently moved to Anderlecht when Vincent Kompany took over as manager, but has departed that job in less than three months.
According to the Express and Star, Villa boss Smith wanted a younger assistant who had knowledge of data and analytics.
