Archer pens new five-year deal

Aston Villa is pleased to announce Cameron Archer has signed a new five-year contract with the Club.

After scoring his first goals for Villa last season, including a hat-trick against Barrow in the Carabao Cup, the young striker went on to enjoy a loan spell with Preston North End which culminated in a first appearance for England’s Under-21s.

The Academy graduate made his debut for the Club in 2019 and Head Coach Steven Gerrard has confirmed the 20-year-old will play an important role in his first-team squad this season.
