A move to the English Premier League will bring a smile to any player's face, even the U.S. national team's noted stoic, Michael Bradley.

The 23-year-old's meteoric rise through world soccer continued on Monday, the final day of the European winter transfer window, with a loan from Germany's relegation-bound Borussia Mönchengladbach to Aston Villa.

The Birmingham club will have an option to purchase Bradley's contract -- which expires in the summer of 2012 -- over the summer.

The club released photos of Bradley modeling his new No. 13 shirt at Villa Park, in which he appeared delighted, and a few quotes that confirmed his excitement over the move.
