McKirdy is yet to make a senior appearance for Aston Villa but has been an established member of their Under-23s in recent seasons.
OPINION
McKirdy is behind man-of-the-moment Kienan Davis in terms of young Aston Villa strikers but is clearly highly thought of at the club. He is versatile, mobile and has already showed in a loan spell last season at League Two outfit Stevenage that he can cut it in the professional game. He scored two goals in 13 appearances and showed that if he continues to develop at his parent club he can follow Davis and Andre Green from the academy into Steve Bruce’s first team.
