Mile Jedinak ready for 'new challenge and a new chapter' at Aston Villa

Socceroos skipper Mile Jedinak says there will always be a place in his heart for former club Crystal Palace as he embarks on life outside the Premier League with Aston Villa.

The 32-year-old made an emotional departure from Selhurst Park last month after five eventful seasons with the South London club where he played under an astonishing 10 different managers.

There was a flirtation with a drop to the third tier in 2011, followed by a shock promotion through an extra-time playoff win at Wembley 12 months later resulting in three successive Premier League campaigns.
