Aston Villa have released 10 players as part of their summer clear-out.

Steve Bruce revealed at the end of last season that injury-plagued striker Libor Kozak had left the club after four years which yielded just 22 appearances and four goals, but it can now be revealed that nine youngsters will follow the Czech Republic striker out of the door.

Several of the departing youngsters have already revealed their fates via social media, but young duo Henry Cowans and Riccardo Calder have also been released.

Cowans, the son of Villa great Gordon, spent last season on loan with League Two side Stevenage and ended the campaign with 22 appearances under his belt.

Calder spent time with FA Cup giant-killers Lincoln City and helped them to win the National League to return to the Football League after six years away from the professional game.

18-year-old defender Johan Abdoul also left Villa Park at the end of his contract.
