Aston Villa is pleased to announce that Aaron O’Reilly has put pen-to-paper on a contract extension.

O'Reilly joined the club in July 2020, completing a move from St Patrick’s Athletic in his native Republic of Ireland.

Aged 16 at the time he signed for Villa, O’Reilly has progressed through the ranks and was a regular for the Under-21 squad this season.

The defender signed his first professional contract with the club in August 2021, and has also won international honours for his country at age-group level.

Congratulations, Aaron!
