Aston Villa is pleased to announce Alfie Lynskey has signed his first professional contract with the club.
The midfielder, 17, has risen through Villa’s ranks and Academy manager Mark Harrison is happy to see him put pen to paper on a pro deal.
“We’re delighted Alfie has signed his first professional contract having been at the Academy for many years, signing from local grassroots football,” he said.
“Alfie is a very technically efficient central midfield player who can manage the ball effectively and has the ability to create chances with his clever play.
“He is a player who we feel has a lot of potential and we look forward to seeing how he develops over the coming years.”
Congratulations, Alfie!
