Darren Bent released by Aston Villa

Aston Villa confirm that they have released striker Darren Bent.

Aston Villa have confirmed that striker Darren Bent has been released by the club.

The 31-year-old joined the Villans from Sunderland in January 2011 for a club-record fee of £24m.

Bent, who scored a total of 25 goals in 72 games for Villa, was loaned out to Fulham and Derby County in recent seasons after struggling for first-team action.

The former England international is expected to sign a permanent deal with Derby before the start of the 2015-16 campaign.

Defender Enda Stevens has also been released by Villa following the end of his contract.
