So after being recalled and being injured ! Jordan Lyden has today announced his departure from Aston Villa Football Club through a post on Instagram.His post :jordanlyden"Unfortunately my 14 years at Aston Villa has come to an end 😔 Ive had many ups and downs throughout my time here but it’s been a very enjoyable journey 😀 would like to thank every single person involved in the club for helping me grow as a player, a person and also sticking by me through my injuries! I wish Aston Villa the very best in reaching their goal of getting back into the premier league where the club belongs! One door closes...another one opens 👀😀 now time to start a new chapter 👊🏽⚽️"Firstly Good luck to him moving forward ! 14 years at villa and 4 appearance first team.He moved here on a dream from Australia and hasn't worked out to the level he wanted It shows how tough mentally as well as physically the challenge of working as a professional footballer and It would have been some hard periods in growing and developing as both a footballer and person Jordan Lyden was essentially brought up at Aston villa boy to man and now at 23 I wish him all the best in his career .Hopefully he finds his level and suitably.Players like Edna Stevens have shown how they have grown and become decent level professional players I read about Gareth Farrelly and how he struggled and Chris Herd had difficulties too Lyden would have had his challenges in everything that involves being a footballer , being injured and I started this post to pay tribute to someone who was developed at Villa and acknowledge that despite little first team pitch time and few squad involvement he did something many dream of in playing for the fantastic Aston villa.Good luck Jordan Lyden.
Feel sorry for the lad after so many setbacks. Back in 2016 DRM loved him and one of the players referred to him as "teachers pet". I thought he could have shadowed fellow Aussie, Jedi and saved us some money buying more defensive midfielders. Sadly, along came Bruce and played him further up the pitch which isn't playing to his strengths. Then he bought 12 midfielders.I always saw him as a midfield destroyer who was never scared to put his foot in, great strength, engine and boy did he love a tackle. Not technically brilliant but the type of player ever team needs.I wish him the best and hope he enjoys the rest of his career injury-free.
I hope we don't start a new thread for every player who exits VP this summer!
