Jed Steer Pens New 4-Year Deal at Aston Villa Following Promotion to Premier League

Aston Villa goalkeeper Jed Steer has signed a new four-year deal, committing his future to the club until 2023.

The 26-year-old forced his way into the first team towards the back end of the season, helping Villa pick up 10 consecutive Championship wins - a club record - as they burst into the playoffs, eventually beating Derby 2-1 at Wembley to seal promotion.

Steer, who made 19 league appearances, has now been rewarded for his fine end of season form with a new deal, which may end speculation that he will be usurped as the club's number one - with Villa reportedly interested in Stoke's Jack Butland.
