Ollie Watkins: Aston Villa striker signs new contract until 2028

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins has signed a new five-year deal at the club.

Watkins' 15 goals last season helped Villa to a European spot, and he has hit double figures in each of his three seasons in the Midlands.

'Signed and sealed. Couldn't be happier to sign a new long term deal with this club," Watkins wrote on Instagram.

Having come through Exeter City's academy, he spent time on loan in non-league football with Weston-super-Mare before moving to Brentford in 2017.

His form in three seasons with the Bees that convinced Villa to make him a then-club record signing in 2020 for £28m.
