Hourihane would move to Barnsley before joining Villa, becoming a fan favourite pretty quickly at the club.
Here are how some Villa fans reacted to the news from Hourihane.
Matt was full of praise for the midfielder, who appeared for Villa in the 3-1 defeat to Spurs yesterday.

Declan Pierce was very complimentary about Hourihane, saying that he is one of the main reasons that they are a Premier League team again.

Andrew Horton was quick to make a joke about the situation, maybe Champions League success is on the horizon?

I think this tweet just shows what a player Conor really is.
To take the criticism and to use it to grow and eventually prove the doubters wrong shows the mental strength that the player has.
Villa fans will be hoping that there is more to come from the Irishman.
