Aston Villa tie down influential midfielder to new four-year Villa Park contract
Aston Villa Manager Unai Emery speaks with John McGinn during a Premier League match - March 2023
Aston Villa have announced captain John McGinn has signed a new long-term contract.
Skipper John McGinn has given Aston Villa a big lift after signing a new long-term contract with the club.
The influential midfielder's new deal keeps him at the club until 2027.
McGinn moved to Villa Park from Hibernian in 2018 and helped them earn promotion to the Premier League in 2019 with a goal in the Championship play-off final against Derby.
The 28-year-old was named club captain last summer and was a key part of the Villa set-up last season, making 34 Premier League appearances.
He helped the club secure European football for the first time since 2010 after a stunning turnaround under manager Unai Emery saw Villa finish seventh in the league.
McGinn also represents Scotland on the international stage, earning 56 caps for his country, and he recently featured in their Euro 2024 qualifying wins against Georgia and Norway.
A club statement read: "He immediately endeared himself to the Villa support with his all-action displays in the middle of the park. One of the first names on the teamsheet ever since, the firm fans' favourite was named club captain last summer".
