James Bree has played five times for Aston Villa since signing from Barnsley during the January transfer window.
Steve Bruce has told Aston Villa’s official website that he has been very impressed by James Bree.
Villa signed Bree from Barnsley during the January transfer window, and the youngster has already caught the eye of his new manager.
Bree has played five matches for Villa since joining up, with his latest display being particularly impressive.
The 19-year-old looked rock solid as the claret and blues beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 on Saturday.
And Bruce said: “James has already put in some very assured performances. He has a wonderful future in the game.
“He is only a boy – he’s just 19-years-old. He has a bright future.
“James has walked into the club and looked like he’s been here for years and years.
“He is level-headed, quiet and nothing seems to faze him. He just gets on with his job.
“James is going to be a very good player.”
Bree has not only won praise from Bruce during the early stages of his time at Villa.
The right-back has also earned a lot of credit from Villa fans on social media website Twitter.
Bree looks set to play a key role for Villa from now until the end of the season.
Villa are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Wigan Athletic.
