Middlesbrough and Ghana winger, Albert Adomah has rejected a move to Championship side, Aston Villa, in favour of a stay in the English Premier League.

Aston Villa and Boro were yet to agree terms for the player but his representatives had begun to discuss personal terms for the player.

However, Adomah – whose current deal is due to expire next summer – decided against the switch having spent his entire career in the lower tiers of English football.

The 28-year-old has featured for teams such as Bristol City, Barnet and Harrow Borough playing semi-professional football with Isthmian League Premier Division.

The Ghana international turned down Boro’s offer of a new three-year deal because the offer was below his expectations.

Adomah was not part of Avram Grant’s 23-man Squad to face Rwanda in the last the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier to be played on September 3, 2016.
