Aston Villa captain John McGinn has signed a new contract to stay with the Premier League club until 2027.

The Scotland midfielder, 28, joined Villa in 2018 from Hibernian.

He scored the decisive second goal in the 2019 Championship play-off final to earn Villa promotion back to the Premier League and has been a key player in the top flight.

McGinn was named Villa skipper last summer and made 36 appearances in all competitions during the 2022-23 season.

The deal that brought him from Easter Road to Villa Park has proved to be excellent business.
