Ashley Young signs new four year contract
Aston Villa winger Ashley Young has put pen to paper a new four year deal at Villa Park. Young, who initially joined from Watford in January 2007 for an estimated £9.5m on a three year deal, is now contracted to Villa till 2012. In sixty nine appearances for Villa, the versatile Young has scored fourteen goals, and has also been capped three times for England.
Villa boss Martin O’Neill had this to say
Ashley has three years left to run on his contract and while we paid Watford an awful lot of money for him, we didn’t pay a lot to him.
After what he has done over the past 18 months, I felt we should change that. He has earned it.
