Villa midfielder Gary Gardner has signed a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2020. The 24-year-old midfielder came through Villa’s academy and made his debut for the senior side in a 3-1 win against Chelsea back in 2011.
However, he struggled to become a regular in the side and after a couple of bad knee injuries, he was loaned out to Brighton and Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest. This season has been his breakthrough season at the club; he has made 15 appearances and scored his first goal for Villa in the 1-1 second-city derby draw with Birmingham. Ever since Bruce arrived, he has been like a new signing for Villa.
Fans love loyalty and dedication, and Villa fans were happy to hear that Gardner has decided to prolong his stay at the club, with many of them hoping that his next four years at the club are successful. A selection of the best tweets can be seen below:
