Benjamin Siegrist penned new Aston Villa contract

Aston Villa goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist penned a new contract last week.

The Swiss goalkeeper's excellent progress has been rewarded with a new three-and-a-half year deal.

The 6ft 4in custodian from Basel has made a big impression in Villa's academy ranks and for his country at youth level.

In 2009, Siegrist became a World Cup winner when he helped Switzerland win the U17 World Cup in Nigeria.
