Ghanaian winger Albert Adomah has opened up on his first season at Aston Villa.
Adomah spent three seasons at Villa after joining them for an undisclosed fee in 2016 from Middlesbrough.
He enjoyed a good run of form in his first season as he was among the second-best in terms of assists within the Championship assisting 11 goals.
“My first season, I thought I’d done well as an individual – coming to a massive club in the Championship – most of the players were of Premier League quality and I was known as a Championship player," the Queens Park Rangers forward said.
“I felt like I held my own. Finishing with the highest assists that season was great – it’s what I was paid for, to create chances, and that’s why they signed me.
“Jonathan Kodjia got a lot of the plaudits, but that’s expected, he did what strikers are paid to do – score goals.
“When I was assisting, it was a pleasure to assist and play with him – we had a good understanding.
I thought I’d had a good season, but as a club, it wasn’t good enough for us not to go straight back up. The players that we had – we should have done it the first season.”
The second season, he was the club’s top scorer – 15 goals – as they came close to securing qualification to the Premier League.
They achieved Premier League promotion in 2018/19 season with Adomah contributing, however, they released him.
