Chris Herd (born April 4, 1989 in Perth, Australia) is a professional football (soccer) player who currently plays for Aston Villa in the FA Premier League. Herd signed from Australian club Bayswater City SC in February 2005 along with fellow Australian Shane Lowry, initially in a deal that was made up of a two-year Youth Training Scheme followed by a one-year professional contract.

[edit] Aston Villa

Herd made 19 appearances and scored twice for Aston Villa Reserves during his YTS campaign, as well as 21 appearances and 1 goal for the Academy. Herd was also part of the squad that won the HKFC Philips Lighting International Soccer Sevens in May 2007, and was rewarded with a 2 year contract following the success. He has played in a variety of positions since joining Villa, but most notably in central-midfield and on the right-wing, although in the 2007/08 Reserve season, he has been heavily deployed at right-back.

[edit] Port Vale

In January 2008, Herd signed on a one month loan deal (subsequently extended) for Port Vale, and made his debut in the following match against Millwall. Herd received the first red card of his career in early February 2008, as Port Vale lost to Bristol Rovers.

On his return to the team after suspension he scored two early goals in the 3-2 defeat to Hartlepool on the 12th of February.

[edit] Wycombe Wanderers

Herd then signed a one month loan deal with Wycombe Wanderers in March 2008, with Wycombe needing to strengthen their midfield numbers following injuries and a suspension. Herd started 3 matches and made a substitute appearance in another, to play in total 4 games for Wycombe, during his spell. He returned to Aston Villa after his final appearance for Wycombe, as an unused sub, against Grimbsy Town on April 15.
