Falkirk Football Club is pleased to announce the loan signing of Ben Broggio from English Premiership side Aston Villa subject to SFA and international clearance!
The highly rated attacker becomes our third January arrival, signing on until the end of the season.
Ben worked his way through the Aston Villa youth setup before earning his first professional contract in 2024, making his professional debut for the Villans in September of that year, featuring in a win against Wycombe Wanderers in the EFL Cup.
The 19-year-old is an FA Youth Cup winner and has represented for England at U15, U16 and U18 levels.
John McGlynn said of Ben joining:
“Ben is an attacking midfield player who naturally operates off the left, coming inside on his right foot. He’s been training regularly with Aston Villa’s first team and comes highly recommended. Once we started looking at him, you could see the class he has. Although his experience has mainly been at Under-21 level, he’s now at the stage where he needs the next step in his development.
“There’s a lot of talent there and we feel this move could be very good for us, and hopefully we can give him a platform to show the quality he’s got. It’s a loan deal until the end of the season that should suit everyone. With Ben Parkinson out injured for some time and only Louie Marsh available from our recent additions, I felt we still needed to strengthen in the attacking area, and that’s exactly what Ben gives us.
“I would like to thank Adam Henshall and Tony Carss from Aston Villa for their assistance in making this deal happen.”
