Ciaran Clark broke through into the senior team under Paul Lambert – developing into a reliable centre-back and fans favourite amongst the Villa faithful in more recent seasons with his tough-tackling and composure on the ball key.
Speaking to avfc.co.uk, Clark said, “I’m absolutely thrilled to sign a new contract. I’ve been at Aston Villa since I was a kid and I want to continue to play for this fantastic football club.
Tim Sherwood also took time out to speak about the deal, saying “You know what you’re going to get wth Ciaran – he gives everything for the cause and that’s all you can ask for as a manager.”
Clark has played 136 games for Aston Villa and at 25, he’ll want to push on and cement a place in Villa’s first team.
