Young Aussies join Villa
by Adam Marshall - created on 12 Apr 2005
Aston Villa have made a double raid on Australia for two fledgling talents.
Manager David O'Leary has obviously been casting his net far and wide in the search for fresh blood and two teenagers have caught the Midlanders' eye.
The players in question are Shane Lowry and Chris Herd.
Lowry has agreed a three-year deal with Villa after decided to leave ECU Joondalup, with sources Down Under also revealing that Herd, a 15-year-old from Bayswater City, has penned similar terms.
The contracts are made up of two years of YTS followed by one year's professional terms.
Villa are currently in mid-table in The Premiership and manager O'Leary has been promised a transfer kitty to spend in the summer on first-team candidates.

Hope there are big things to come for them
