Pacy midfielder Fabian Delph signed for Villa in July 2009 after establishing himself as one of the rising stars of English football.

His impressive form for Leeds United in the 2008-09 season was recognised with a string of awards.

Not only was the England under-21 international named in the PFA League One Team of the Year, he won the FourFourTwo Young Player of the Year as well as a hat-trick of gongs at Leeds' own end of season awards.

Delph's debut for Leeds came as a substitute against Derby County on the last day of the 2006-07 campaign and he followed that up the next season with two more appearances from the bench.

But on his return from England under-19s duty last pre-season, his career began to take off.

He impressed in friendly matches and was handed a first start in a Carling Cup game against Chester City.

Delph quickly established himself as a first team regular at Elland Road. In September he bagged his first goal against Crewe and collected three man of the match awards in four games.

International honours soon came Delph's way with his first England under-21 cap against the Czech Republic in November.

He hit stunning goals against Stockport and Brighton as Leeds marched to the League One play-offs where they were beaten by Milwall.

Delph finished the campaign with six goals from 50 appearances.
