Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings has signed a new contract with the Premier League club that will run through until the end of the 2025-26 season.
England international Mings has made 149 appearances since joining Villa from Bournemouth in January 2019, initially on loan before signing permanently six months later.
The 29-year-old’s existing deal was due to expire next year, but Villa confirmed on Friday he has signed an extension.
“Since the day I arrived, this has always been the place for me and I’m really happy to extend my contract here,” Mings posted on social media.
“Thank you for all of your support over the last four years and I’m excited to see what we can still achieve together.”
Mings was stripped of the captaincy by former boss Steven Gerrard ahead of this season, but he has been a key player since Unai Emery was appointed in October.
The centre-back had played every minute in the Premier League under Emery prior to missing last weekend’s defeat to Manchester City through injury.
“I am very happy with him. His commitment is great and his performances are great,” Emery said of the England international.
“He is in the best moment in his career and I think the supporters love him.”
Emery confirmed Mings has returned to training this week and will be assessed ahead of Saturday’s home league meeting with Arsenal.
