Described by Villa chief executive Christian Purslow as 'the best 16-year-old in England' when he signed him in January, Barry is the prolific striker who grew up with neighbours West Bromwich Albion.
He turned down Paris Saint-Germain to join Barcelona last year, but, failing to settle, returned to England and into Villa's open arms, albeit for £4million.
