Aston Villa have taken Aman Singh Shergill from Birmingham City, a move that sees him become their Physical Performance Scientist, as reported by Training Ground Guru.
This comes after Shergill had spent four-and-a-half years with Villa’s city rivals, which made this a sweet piece of news for many fans.

Considering the level of competition between the two clubs, many Villa fans have taken great pleasure from the fact that their club have stolen a member of Birmingham’s staff.
This feeling can only be strengthened by the fact that Villa won’t be playing Birmingham this season following last term’s promotion through the play-offs.
One fan commented “city is ours” when the acquisition was announced, while another welcomed Shergill after he was “saved from the dark side”.
While fans were happy to have got one over on Birmingham, there was still a bit of confusion about what exactly it is Shergill will be doing at Villa.
This offers an indication into how much goes on behind the scenes at Premier League clubs, though it has left some fans wondering whether these are actual jobs.
One fan was also surprised to hear that Birmingham had taken strides into the scientific world in the first place.
