Travis Patterson is an exciting left-sided player who has made rapid progress through the Academy ranks since arriving at the club as an Under-9. He has stepped up to become a regular for Villa’s Under-21s.

Patterson, who signed a scholarship in July 2022, has represented England at U16, U17, U18 and U19 level. Patterson's 2023/24 campaign got off to a good start when he featured for the first team in their pre-season opener against Walsall in July 2023, before signing his first professional contract in October that year. 

2024/25 would also get off to a positive start for Patterson, who signed a new long-term contract in August before making his first-team debut as a substitute in Villa's Carabao Cup third-round trip to Wycombe Wanderers, featuring in numerous more matchday squads. 

He would go on to represent Villa's younger ranks in Premier League 2, the Vertu Trophy and the UEFA Youth League over the course of the first half of the campaign, scoring twice and registering three assists, before joining MK Dons on loan for the remainder of the season in January. 

His first career loan at Stadium MK brought him seven appearances in League Two, at left-back, left-wing-back and on the left-wing.
