Tyrone Mings recently showed off Aston Villa’s away kit on social media and posted on his Instagram story after being announced as the new club captain. It was no surprise the 28-year-old was chosen to lead Villa this season, but it’s a big moment for Mings.
The England international has seen his career go from strength to strength since he joined Villa from Bournemouth in July 2019, silencing any critics who felt his £20m asking price was lofty. Mings initially joined on loan in January 2019 and turned the move permanent months later.
He’s gone on to make 92 appearances in all competitions for the Midlands outfit, scoring six goals with four assists. The 28-year-old has become one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League and featured for England in the 2020 European Championships as his reward.
Summary
Mings has finally realised his potential at Villa after suffering injuries at Ipswich Town and Bournemouth. He was tipped for greatness as a youngster but had to endure a lot of setbacks before finally proving his worth in the top-flight.
Mings is now Villa’s captain and England’s third-best centre-back, so his career is going in the right direction.
