Fabian Delph is happy to have committed himself to a new Aston Villa deal.
The midfielder has signed a new four-and-a-half year deal at the club and insisted he always saw his future at Villa.
"It wouldn't have sat right with me to leave the club, especially on a free, after the faith everyone involved in the club have shown me. For me, that's just the way I am," he said.
"Going on a free I would have been better off but I'm a kid from Bradford, brought up on a council estate. I am not motivated by money, I look after my family.
"Most people in my situation would be looking to move on.
"I was never pushed. Conversations were going on for a while and I just needed to take my time.
"For me it was more about repaying the faith in the chairman.
"I feel like I've give 100 per cent week in, week out.
"The chairman has been great. If you can imagine being a young boy and you're injured and the guy who has invested in me is calling me and giving me a text. You can imagine what that meant to me."
