Aston Villa is pleased to announce that Oliver Bindley has signed his first professional contract with the club.
An attack-minded midfielder, Bindley signed scholarship terms with the Villans over the summer, and has featured in all four of our Under-18 outings so far this season.
The boyhood Villa fan also already has international experience with England at youth level.
Academy Manager Mark Harrison said: “We are delighted to see Ollie sign his first professional contract.
“Having joined the academy a number of years ago, this is a recognition for his development and the potential we feel he has.
“He is an attacking midfielder who has very good technical and creative qualities, as well as being a local lad who is a massive Aston Villa fan.
“He also represented England at youth level, and we look forward to seeing how he develops over the next few years.”
Congratulations, Ollie!
