Brad Guzan pens new Aston Villa contract

American goalkeeper Brad Guzan has signed a new four year contract with Aston Villa. The keeper has ousted Shay Given from the first team and has now officially cemented his long term future with the Villans as he begins a brand new contract.

The 28-year-old admitted that he is delighted to have agreed a new deal: "This is just the start now, the start of hard work. We have to build on last year and go forward and that is very much the collective mindset at the club.


"For me, it's an honour and a privilege to play for Aston Villa Football Club and to commit my future long-term. I'm overjoyed by it.


"To have this opportunity to commit my future, with the plans and the future being what they are going forward, it's tremendously exciting and I know that's not just for me but for everybody, including the fans.
