Aston Villa is delighted to announce that Tyrone Mings has signed a contract extension with the club.

The defender made 22 appearances in all competitions last season having missed the previous campaign with a knee injury, making his return to action in November.

Since helping the club to promotion to the Premier League in 2019, he has racked up over 180 appearances in claret and blue and has represented England at a major international tournament.

Monchi, President of Football Operations, said: “We are very happy that Tyrone has extended his contract with Aston Villa. We are delighted that he will continue to be a part of our journey.”

Mings added: “In the time I’ve been at the club we’ve had quite the journey. Every player signs for a club hoping they can contribute positively towards something successful and my belief that we can achieve something extra special is stronger than ever.

“I thank the fans, the manager, the staff and the players for their unwavering support both on and off the pitch through one of the toughest periods of my career. I’m sure that next season will be our best one yet!”

Congratulations, Tyrone!
