Ross McCormack is heading to Australia to kickstart his career after falling out of favour at Aston Villa.

McCormack is on his way to Melbourne City in the A-League.

The 31-year-old has become a peripheral figure at Aston Villa since falling out with manager Steve Bruce.

McCormack, a £12 million signing from Fulham just over a year ago, fell down the attacking pecking order after upsetting Bruce with his attitude last season.

He was given a clean slate in the summer and has been used in Carabao Cup matches, but the Scottish international has struggled to force his way into Bruce's Championship plans with the manager insisting the players ahead of him are more deserving of game time.

It is believed that McCormack will go to Melbourne on a loan basis to try to find form and fitness.
