Aston Villa defender Ritchie De Laet has joined Royal Antwerp on loan for the rest of the season.
De Laet has made just nine senior appearances for Villa this season and will be returning to the club where he spent the early stages of his professional career.
The 29-year-old joined Villa from Leicester in August 2016 having just won the Premier League title.
He has the distinction of winning both the Premier League title and promotion to the Premier League in the same season, having spent the second half of the 2015/16 campaign on loan at Middlesbrough.
Prior to joining Leicester, the Belgium international had something of a nomadic career in England; firstly at Stoke then Manchester United, as well as loan spells at Wrexham, Sheffield United, Preston, Portsmouth and Norwich.
