Bruce took the reigns at Villa Park after being appointed on Wednesday

Hull City captain Curtis Davies has backed new Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce to propel the Villans back up the Championship table.

Bruce was appointed as boss of the Midlands club on Wednesday after Roberto di Matteo was sacked with the team languishing in 19th place.

The 55-year-old will be tasked with bringing Premier League football back to Villa Park at the first time of asking, a feat he achieved with Hull last year.
