's record signing at £9.5 million on 12 January 2001. In his time at Villa, he was reportedly Villa's highest earner. After an indifferent start to his Aston Villa career, and family difficulties, Ángel settled down and started to produce the form that persuaded Doug Ellis
to shell out the massive transfer fee. He quickly became a fans favourite and is the most recent Villa player to have scored more than 20 goals in one season, finishing as the club's top scorer in the 2003-04
season with 16 goals in the FA Premier League

(97 goals in 288 games).

qualifying
match. Ángel came on as a substitute and scored from a free kick

.
Ángel also recorded an assist and played an important role in a third goal to round off a performance that earned him that week's MLS Player of the Week award. His form showed no signs of letting up in the following game, as he weighed in with two goals and another assist as the Red Bulls overcame Chicago Fire to win 3-0, taking them to joint top of the Eastern Conference.
Ángel was voted MLS Player of the Month
for May 2007. He became the first Red Bull to score in six straight games.
On August 18, 2007, Ángel added two more goals to his tally. His team defeated Los Angeles Galaxy 5-4. Ángel scored the first goal early on from a free kick before striking a late winner to seal the game for the Red Bulls. Ángel also scored the first goal of the 2007 MLS All-Star Game

His regular season goal total was one short of Luciano Emilio
who led the league with 20 but who had also played more games.
Ángel had a slow start to the 2008 season due to an arthritic nerve-related injury in his lower back that caused him to have pain in his hamstring but he finally scored his first of the season in his fourth appearance - a 2-1 winner against LA Galaxy on May 10. On June 5 he fought through a still painful injury to score the only goal in New York's home win against Chivas USA. However, in doing so he also picked up another slight hamstring strain and after the final whistle he was seen limping off the pitch. As a result of this injury Ángel missed the Red Bulls' next 4 league games. Even through this injury-plagued season, his three goals were enough for coach Steve Nicol
to name him to the 2008 MLS All-Star Game vs West Ham United in which he fed the pass that earned the game winning penalty kick and also scored a goal that was disallowed due to a controversial offside. Ángel concluded his second season in New York scoring 14 goals in 23 league matches (16 goals in 28 matches in official competitions).

. However, Ángel still had his moments during the campaign as he became the clubs all-time leading goal scorer. On September 26, 2009 he scored the equalizing goal in a 1-1 draw at Chivas USA, that goal being the 46th of his career with New York and breaking Clint Mathis
former record of 45. Ángel ended his season leading the club in scoring for the third straight year scoring 12 goals in 25 league matches.

on the opening goal in a 2-0 victory over New England Revolution
which helped New York clinch its second ever regular season Eastern Conference title.

3-0 (4-1 Aggregate) and Real Salt Lake
