Aston Villa have today confirmed on their official website that playmaker Jack Grealish has signed a new four-year contract with the club.
Grealish, 21, has come up through the ranks at Villa Park having joined the club at the age of just six, and even grew up supporting Villa too.

The attacking midfielder starred towards the end of the 2014-15 season under Tim Sherwood, but struggled to make an impact last term as Villa suffered relegation to the Championship.
With form, injuries and off-field issues hampering Grealish’s development, some wondered whether Grealish would leave over the summer – but not only did he stay beyond the transfer window, he’s now signed a new deal.

Villa confirmed earlier today that Grealish has penned a new four-year contract to stay at Villa Park, committing his future to the club again.
With two goals and one assist in the Championship already this season, Grealish has played a key role under Roberto Di Matteo so far, and Villa fans have taken to Twitter today to react to his new contract.

Many believe that Grealish is set for a huge season, and his new deal will allow him to settle down and focus on his football rather than any questions over his future.
Others discussed the potential of a release clause in his deal, suggesting that they hope there is no buyout fee after Villa lost Ciaran Clark and Idrissa Gueye in that particular manner during the summer transfer window.
