Following this weekend’s absolute capitulation against Wolverhampton Wanderers in our Premier League derby, Aston Villa fans did have something to celebrate on Saturday as highly rated Academy graduate Seb Revan properly introduced himself to Grimsby Town fans.
Having made the switch out to the National League side at the end of July, the 18-year-old defender has had to be patient, but he has made one start and one substitute appearance for them so far (four points returned). On Saturday he got another start in their FA Cup qualifying clash with Bromsgrove Sporting.
The eagle eyed amongst you will know fellow Academy graduate Akos Onodi was between the sticks for them, but sadly, it wasn’t the goalkeeper’s day (although he pulled off some fine stops and saved a penalty) as Revan helped them through to the First Round Proper in a comfortable 5-0 victory, scoring his first professional brace in the process and helping himself to an assist.
He’s scored again! What an introduction to FA Cup football for Seb Revan! Another brilliant strike! #AVFC https://t.co/26sV5Pz0iP pic.twitter.com/CZPlHjMEB5
