Sinclair completes permanent move to Villa from Man City

BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — Scott Sinclair has completed his permanent move to Aston Villa from Manchester City on a four-year deal after a successful loan spell.

The 26-year-old winger his revived his career at Villa since joining in January, scoring three goals and being a regular member of the first team before getting injured.

The transfer fee was not disclosed when the move was announced Tuesday, and Sinclair says "this is the happiest I have been in a long time."

Sinclair, who played for Britain in the Olympic football tournament at the London Games in 2012, signed for City for 6.2 million pounds ($9.6 million) from Swansea that year but struggled for game time.
