Aston Villa has secured a significant boost with attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers signing a contract extension until 2030. The 22-year-old’s impressive performances have made him a vital cog in Unai Emery’s squad, and this deal ensures he will remain at Villa Park for years to come.
Rogers joined Villa from Middlesbrough in January 2024 for £8m plus £7m in potential add-ons. His impact was immediate, helping Villa finish fourth in the Premier League last season. This campaign, he has started in crucial Champions League victories against Bayern Munich, Young Boys, and Bologna, showcasing his ability to perform on the biggest stage.
His exceptional form earned an England call-up, and he made his international debut in the 3-0 Nations League win against Greece. This milestone marks a significant achievement for Rogers, who has rapidly progressed through the ranks.
Since his £8 million transfer from Middlesbrough in January, Rogers has quickly made a name for himself. He joined Unai Emery’s squad immediately, playing a key role in their Champions League qualification and helping them win their first three matches in the tournament.
His impressive strength and stamina have earned him praise this season, as he ranks among the top Premier League players for his ability to carry the ball over long distances, effectively pushing Villa into more threatening positions on the pitch.
Unai Emery’s influence on Rogers’ development has been instrumental. The Villa manager’s tactical acumen and player development expertise have helped Rogers unlock his full potential. Emery praised Rogers, saying: “Morgan is an exceptional young player with tremendous potential. We’re delighted he’s committed to our project.”
Villa’s ambitions for the 2024/2025 season remain high, with Rogers playing a pivotal role. The club’s Champions League campaign is underway, and a strong Premier League run is expected.
