Aston Villa have secured England youth international Jaden Philogene-Bidace to a long-term contract.

The 18-year-old forward has been in fine form for Villa's under-23s this season and was nominated for the Premier League 2's Player of the Month in November.

He was set to be out of contract this summer but has put pen to paper on a new deal lasting until 2024.

Academy manager Mark Harrison told avfc.co.uk: “It is fantastic to see Jaden commit to a new long-term contract.

“He has had a really good last six months with some excellent performances in the U23s, which has led to him training with the first team on a regular basis and has recently seen him travel with them to games.

“We are very excited to see how Jaden develops over the next few years."
