He has yet to make a first team start for Villa but made eight appearances on loan at Livingston.
Speaking on Caleb’s move to the Reds, Kevin Betsy said: “Caleb is a player that I have known for some time. This is a real coup for the club, given the level of interest in his talents from a higher level. A versatile forward who can play anywhere across the front line.
