Aston Villa is delighted to announce Ollie Watkins has signed a new, long-term contract with the club.
The striker, who yesterday received a recall to the England squad, has now scored 50 goals for Villa since joining from Brentford in 2020.
His 15 goals last term helped fire Villa into Europe while he has reached double figures in each of his three seasons at the club – with seven to his name in all competitions so far this season, including two hat-tricks, the first Villa player to achieve the feat in the same campaign since Andy Gray in the 1970s.
A graduate of the Exeter City Academy, he spent time in non-league football with Weston Super-Mare before impressing for the Grecians and then Brentford.
