Villa star signs new deal to 2029

Cash commits long-term future to Villa

Aston Villa have confirmed that right-back Matty Cash has signed a new contract keeping him at the club until 2029, according to BBC Football. The Poland international, who joined from Nottingham Forest in 2020, has become a cornerstone of Unai Emery’s high-intensity side, making 193 appearances in claret and blue.

Cash’s previous deal was due to expire in 2027, but Villa’s hierarchy moved quickly to reward his consistency and leadership with an extended agreement. The 28-year-old has been in fine form this season, contributing goals and energy from defence, including his second of the campaign in the 1-0 win over Manchester City.

Confidence and form driving Villa’s progress

Speaking after that victory, Cash said: “I’m playing with a lot of confidence. To be honest, I’ve always had a good shot, I’ve just never really shown it in games. This season it seems to be going my way and every time I get the ball on the edge of the box, I’ve got confidence and feel like I’m going to hit the target a lot of the time.”

For Villa, the extension is another sign of stability under Emery. With Cash now a senior international and first-choice right-back for both club and country, the new deal underlines his importance to the club’s ongoing project.

For Aston Villa supporters, this news is exactly what they wanted to hear. Matty Cash has become one of the most dependable figures in the squad, a player who combines commitment, consistency and character. His journey from Nottingham Forest to being a key figure in a top-four chasing Villa side has mirrored the club’s rise under Unai Emery.

Fans will be delighted not just by the length of the new deal but by what it represents: loyalty and belief in the current project. Cash’s energy, overlapping runs and willingness to take responsibility in both attack and defence have made him a fan favourite at Villa Park. His recent goal against Manchester City summed up that confidence and precision that Emery’s system demands.

There’s also a broader message in this renewal. Villa are no longer a club looking to sell their best players but one determined to build around them. For supporters, it feels like a symbol of the ambition and direction driving this exciting chapter. Cash’s commitment to 2029 gives fans even more reason to believe that Villa’s resurgence under Emery is built to last.
