Aston Villa's Tyrone Mings has extended his contract by a year, securing his place in the team after reaching the last year of his previous agreement. Since joining from Bournemouth in 2019, Mings has been a key player, especially under Unai Emery's leadership since late 2022. He has made 180 appearances for Villa across all competitions.
Mings returned to action in January after recovering from a significant knee injury, contributing to 14 Premier League matches in the 2024-25 season. Despite Villa narrowly missing out on Champions League qualification, finishing sixth following a contentious 2-0 loss to Manchester United on the final day, Mings remains optimistic about the team's future.

The defender was not used in the match against Manchester United, but he is confident that Aston Villa will continue to progress. "We've had quite the journey," Mings expressed on Villa's website. "My belief that we can achieve something extra special is stronger than ever." His optimism reflects his faith in the team's potential under Emery's guidance.
Despite dropping into the Europa League after just one season in Europe's top club competition, Mings sees this as an opportunity for growth. He appreciates the unwavering support from fans, management, and teammates during challenging times. "I thank the fans, the manager, the staff and the players for their unwavering support," he added.
Mings is determined that next season will be even better for Aston Villa. His commitment to the club is evident as he looks forward to achieving new milestones with his teammates. The defender's belief in their potential remains unshaken despite recent setbacks.
As Mings continues with Aston Villa, his focus remains on contributing positively both on and off the field. His leadership and experience are invaluable assets as they aim for success in upcoming seasons. The defender's renewed contract signifies stability and ambition within the squad.
