Nicklas Helenius has finally ended his Aston Villa nightmare by re-joining AaB Aalborg on a free transfer.

The 24-year-old who joined for £1.2million in 2013, but featured just six times, has signed a two-year contract with the Danish side.

Helenius never settled in England and after a season at the club he was shipped out on loan to help rediscover his goalscoring form.

Last term he bagged 10 goals in 40 appearances.
