Grealish signs new contract with Villa

Aston Villa's England Under-21 midfielder Jack Grealish has signed a new, improved four-year contract with the relegated Championship club.

The Solihull-born 20-year-old, who had signed a four-year deal in October 2014, has now tied himself to Villa until the summer of 2020.

Grealish has scored three goals in his 52 appearances for Villa since his debut at the end of the 2013-14 season.

That followed a season spent largely on loan with League One side Notts County.

He played for the Republic of Ireland from Under-17 through to Under-21 level before switching to England, since when he has won five Under-21 caps and was on former England boss Roy Hodgson's radar.
