Aston Villa have announced that forward Andre Green has signed a new deal that will keep him at the club until at least 2020.

The 19-year old is one of several highly-rated players to come through the West Midlands side academy in recent years and has already played over 20 times for the first-team.

However, he has been hampered by injury this season, which has restricted him to just five appearances in this campaign.

Nevertheless, Villa have been keen to tie the talented youngster down on a longer deal and announced the news through their social media channels this afternoon.

They also sent a short clip of his outstanding goal against Norwich earlier this season to remind fans what Green is capable of.

Unsurprisingly, the supporters were very happy to see the academy graduate rewarded with a long-term deal, with many excited about what the future holds for the player.
