Mile Jedinak

Crystal Palace star Mile Jedinak has signed a three-year deal with Championship side Aston Villa.

The-32-year-old Aussie made 179 appearances for the club since his move from Gençlerbirliği in 2011.

His battling performances in midfield helped Palace reach the heights of the Premier League, but he struggled to keep a starting place in Alan Pardew's midfield line-up since the arrival of Yohan Cabaye last season.

His last game was the 1-0 defeat to West Brom at the weekend and he becomes the second player in a week to depart the club after Yannick Bolasie signed for Everton.

Eagles manager Alan Pardew told the Palace website: "Mile has been an influential figure at Palace since joining five years ago. He has been a super player and instrumental in our progress as a club. We thank him for his commitment in a Palace shirt and wish him the best of luck in his next chapter at Aston Villa".

All the best for the future Mile, your efforts for the Eagles will never be forgotten!

Before Mile left we asked him for his favourite moment as a Palace player.https://t.co/U6wDdwkuwt
