Aston Villa is pleased to announce Sil Swinkels has signed a new contract with the club.
The Dutch defender, 20, battled back from injury during the 2023/24 campaign before returning in April to help the Under-21 squad reach the Premier League 2 play-offs and win the Birmingham Senior Cup.
Academy manager Mark Harrison was full of praise for Swinkels, who made his senior debut in claret and blue in an FA Cup tie against Liverpool in 2021.
He said: “We are delighted to see Sil sign his new contract.
“He has shown a lot of resilience to bounce back from his injury and since doing so has shown a lot of potential and maturity in his performances.
“He has an outstanding attitude and thoroughly deserves this new contract. We look forward to seeing how he develops over the coming seasons.”
Congratulations, Sil!
