He said in the Sunday Mercury: "I thought I was going to Leeds to play almost every game and it didn't work out that way, so it got a bit frustrating in the end.
"Villa kept in contact with me. Gordon Cowans (first team coach) phoned me up and asked me what was happening after I didn't start a couple of games.
"Leeds had only got two games left anyway and Villa had got four, so it was better for me to come back here and try and force my way in."
