It is safe to say that it has been a tricky season for Aaron Tshibola so far, with the Aston Villa midfielder limited with his first-team opportunities both at Villa Park and away from the club.

Tshibola spent an early part of the season on-loan with MK Dons in Sky Bet League One, but the midfielder failed to make an impact in the lower leagues, returning to Villa Park early from his disappointing loan spell.

Since his return to Villa Park, Tshibola has struggled to break into Steve Bruce’s first-team, with his only contribution coming with the under-23 side in the Premier League 2.

The 23-year-old has shown signs of improvement with the Villa youth team, featuring last night and getting amongst the goals against Southampton as the Villans picked up a 4-1 victory.

Tshibola was quick to take to social media following the result, sharing a clip of his goal, which has received a warm response from the club’s supporters.
