Aston Villa attacker Jack Grealish signs new four-year contract

Aston Villa's England Under 21 international attacking midfielder Jack Grealish has put pen to paper on a new four-year deal with his club.

The 20-year-old Solihull-born star has been with Villa since 2001, and broke through to their first team in 2012.

Grealish represented the Republic of Ireland on 19 occasions at U17, U18 and U21 levels, scoring six goals, before controversially switching allegiance to his country of birth.
