Aston Villa's reserve goalkeeper Wayne Henderson ended his stay at Villa Park this afternoon after signing a permanent deal with Championsip outfit Brighton.

Henderson, who was in the Aston Villa youth team who won the 2002 FA Youth Cup, enjoyed a loan spell at Brighton earlier in the season.

After impressing manager Mark McGhee, the Seagulls decided to make a move for the talented stopper and terms were agreed earlier today as Henderson became the first Villa player to depart in this month's transfer window.
