Sheffield Wednesday have signed Aston Villa left-back Joe Bennett on loan until the end of the season.

The 25-year-old made 30 league appearances for Villa after joining them from Middlesbrough in 2012.

He has only appeared once for Villa this season when he scored in their Capital One Cup victory over Notts County.

Bennett also made 42 appearances during a season-long loan spell at Brighton last year, scoring one goal.

He has not played any first-team football since August when he picked up an Achilles injury shortly after joining Bournemouth on loan.
