ASHLEY YOUNG has signed a new one-year deal with Aston Villa.
The former Manchester United star, 36, returned to Villa Park on a free transfer from Inter Milan last summer.
He signed a one year deal upon his arrival which expired last week, but Steven Gerrard and his staff were eager to retain him.
Villa regard him as an important role model in the dressing room and on the pitch.
Club chiefs saw the negotiation as another crucial piece of business to complete before the start of the Premier League season.
He will now remain in claret and blue until the end of the 2022-23 campaign.
