Aston Villa youngster Bradley Burrowes has signed a new contract with the club.
The 18-year-old is a versatile player, capable of playing out wide or as a central forward, and he has been on fire this season.
Burrowes has scored nine goals in just 10 Premier League 2 appearances this term, while also captaining the team.
He has added a further five goals in four FA Youth Cup appearances and has also scored once in the UEFA Youth League.
Burrowes penned his first professional contract with Villa just over a year ago, in March 2025.
Academy manager Mark Harrison said: “We are delighted Brad has signed a new long-term contract, he has had a very positive last 18 months at the club.
“We have been really pleased with his development as an attacking player, who can create and score goals. He also has a fantastic mentality and character which is great credit to him and his family.
“He is definitely a role model for our younger Academy players, and we really hope this now provides him with the platform to transition into a senior player at the club.”
