Richard Dunne has promised to give his all in every game he plays for Aston Villa Football Club.

The Republic of Ireland international was snapped up by Martin O’Neill on transfer deadline day, and the former Manchester City star is determined to become a firm favourite with the Villa Park faithful.

"Wherever I go and play I'll always be 100% committed," said Dunne on skysports.com. "I don't like to lose matches and I hope that's one of my strengths and I'll always give it my all.

"I guarantee that every game I play I'll be fully committed. I've had loads of red cards. I think there is me and Patrick Vieira as the most red-carded players in the Premier League, so I'm in good company.

"I don't think I deserve many of them, although obviously the odd one. But it's just the way it goes and I suppose if you're making last ditch tackles and you miss the odd one, then you're automatically off.

"Hopefully, my luck may change and I can stay on the pitch more. I'm struggling to remember the last one I had, but that's not a good sign, because it wasn't that long ago!”
