Aston Villa have completed the signing of Fulham defender Zat Knight on a four-year deal.
Knight signed his contract on Wednesday after both clubs had agreed a £3.5million fee for the 27-year-old late on Tuesday night.
Villa manager Martin O'Neill said: "Zat has got a lot of natural talent. I'm hoping that if he performs the way he can perform and has done in the past, we can expect him to be a big asset."
thirty tracksuits
Knight was born in nearby Solihull and is a lifelong Villa fan. In 1999 he moved from his first club Rushall Olympic to Fulham for a 'fee' of thirty tracksuits.
The defender only signed a new three-year deal with Fulham in the summer but manager Lawrie Sanchez was prepared to let him move on. Knight, who made two full England appearances in 2005, will give O'Neill options at centre-back alongside Olof Mellberg, Martin Laursen and Gary Cahill.
