Grant Holt has admitted that he could not turn down the chance to join Aston Villa on loan.
The Wigan Athletic striker, 32, signed a temporary deal with the Premier League club on Tuesday after undergoing a medical.
Holt will spend the rest of the season at Villa Park.
"It's a massive opportunity for me personally, an opportunity I couldn't turn down," he told the club's official website.
"To be able to come back into the Premier League, especially at a club as big as Villa, is fantastic and it's a an opportunity for me to work with the gaffer and his staff again as well.
"We all know this is a club in transition but we're making progress this season. We've got a lot of young lads at the club who are doing fantastic and I'm really delighted to be a part of it and to be able to lend a hand."
Villa continue their Premier League campaign on Saturday when they face Liverpool at Anfield.
