Aston Villa is pleased to announce Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba has signed a new long-term contract with the club.
The midfielder joined Villa last summer and has impressed through the club’s Academy ranks, penning a professional contract 12 months ago.
Jimoh-Aloba, an England youth international, has established himself as an Under-21 regular and featured for the first team in pre-season earlier this summer.
He was rewarded with a competitive debut as a late substitute in Villa’s Carabao Cup triumph at Wycombe Wanderers last month.
Academy manager Mark Harrison said: “Over the last 12 months Jamal has developed into a regular for our Under-21s, which led to him making his senior first-team debut in the Carabao Cup against Wycombe recently at the young age of 17.
“Jamal has also represented England at Under-17, Under-18 level and is on standby for the upcoming Under-19 fixtures against Portugal, Netherlands and France.
“Jamal has shown real potential as a midfielder who can manage the ball and carry it forward with an attacking threat.
“This contract is a well-earned reward for Jamal’s development since he joined us and the potential the club believe he has to develop into a first-team player. We are delighted to see Jamal sign a new long-term contract.”
Congratulations, Jamaldeen!
