Villa have signed promising youth team player Courtney Cameron from Northampton Town for an undisclosed fee.
The 16 year-old attacker is described as a very athletic player who possesses an excellent attitude and is sure to fit in well in the Midlands.
Cameron becomes the latest Cobblers youngster to make the step up to the Premier League following in the footsteps of Mark Randall and Anton Blackwood who both joined Arsenal.
