Harvey Knibbs has revealed on Twitter that he is leaving Aston Villa at the end of the season.

Knibbs has been on the books of Villa since he was 13 years of age, and the 20-year-old forward has disclosed that he is now set to part company with the Villans.

Lack of first-team action

Knibbs did well for the Villa youth teams and has been progressing well, but the 20-year-old forward failed to break into the senior team.

The Villa Under-23 international featured for the Villa first team in their pre-season friendly match against Kidderminster Harriers last summer and scored as well.

The youngster also played in the friendly match Walsall, and one would have expected him to make the breakthrough into the first team.

However, things did not pan out that way, and Knibbs has now revealed that he will not be at Villa next season.

Earlier today, 20-year-old defender Mitchell Clark stated on Twitter that he is leaving Villa this summer.
