Aston Villa is pleased to announce that TJ Carroll has signed his first professional contract with the club.
The defender was a key component of the Under-18 side which won the FA Youth Cup, Premier League South and Premier League National Final in the 2024/25 season.
Academy Manager Mark Harrison is happy to see the 18-year-old extend his stay at the club.
"We are delighted to see TJ sign his first professional contract, having been at the Academy since Under-9s," he said.
"He was a regular in the Under-18s last season, being a consistent part of the team that won both the league and FA Youth Cup and also scoring in the FA Youth Cup Final.
"TJ is a centre back who is very good in possession and is always prepared to put his body on the line. We look forward to seeing how he develops."
Congratulations, TJ!
