Gardner has penned a new contract which will keep at Villa until 2020.

The new deal highlights Gardner’s progression with the claret and blues this season.

The 24-year-old was sent out on loan regularly prior to this season, but he has played a key role since Steve Bruce took charge at Villa Park.

Gardner’s combativeness has added quality to Villa’s midfield, and supporters of the Midlands club were delighted to see the central-midfielder commit his future.

After signing a new deal, Gardner looks likely to start in Villa’s next match, which comes against Burton Albion on Boxing Day.
