Aston Villa is pleased to announce that Kadan Young has signed a new long-term contract with the club.
Unai Emery has named the 18-year-old among the substitutes for the first team’s past two matches, including our Champions League opener against BSC Young Boys, as he works towards making his senior debut.
Capable of playing on either flank or through the middle, the skilful forward has represented England at Under-18 level and has registered two assists in two Premier League 2 matches for the club’s Under-21s this term.
Academy Manager Mark Harrison says the new deal is reward for Young’s hard work.
“We are delighted Kadan has signed a new long-term contract,” he said.
“Over the past couple of seasons, he has trained regularly with the first team and has also been involved in matchday squads. This is a well-deserved recognition for his development, which the first team have endorsed and supported.
“We will look forward to seeing Kadan develop over the coming seasons and hopefully develop into a first-team player for many years to come.”
Congratulations, Kadan!
