Andre Green pens new contract at Aston Villa

Aston Villa have announced that Andre Green has agreed to pen a new contract which keeps him at the club until 2020.

Since making his debut in 2016, Green has become increasingly involved in the first-team setup at the West Midlands outfit, who are currently competing for automatic promotion to the Premier League.

The 19-year-old has made a total of 26 appearances in all competitions, and Villa have moved to ensure that the youngster will remain at the club for at least another two years.

Green has spent a large period of the current campaign on the sidelines due to a hamstring problem, but the player made a successful return from the injury in January.

Manager Steve Bruce may involve Green after the international break, with Villa facing the prospect of playing five games in two weeks.
