Jack McGrath agreed scholarship terms with Aston Villa ahead of the 2025/26 season.

The attacking midfielder has been at the Academy for a number of years, having joined from Birmingham City.

He is a creative, technically strong operator, who featured heavily for the Under-18s throughout the second half of the 2024/25 season.

McGrath registered a number of important goal contributions as Jimmy Shan’s side claimed an unprecedented domestic treble, scoring away to Newcastle United in the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup.
