In a move that solidifies their faith in his immense potential, Aston Villa have secured the long-term future of rising star Morgan Rogers with a contract extension that keeps him at Villa Park until 2030. The new deal comes on the heels of the 22-year-old’s scintillating start to the season and a memorable England debut during the recent international break.
A Villa Park Sensation
Rogers, who joined Villa from Middlesbrough in January, has been a revelation for Unai Emery’s side this season. The versatile attacker has notched an impressive 3 goals and 3 assists in the early stages of the campaign, playing a pivotal role in Villa’s promising start that sees them sitting 9th in the Premier League and 8th in their UEFA Champions League group.
The England youth international’s performances have not gone unnoticed, with interim Three Lions boss Lee Carsley handing him his senior international debut in the 3-0 UEFA Nations League victory over Greece last Thursday. Rogers came off the bench again in England’s 5-0 thrashing of Republic of Ireland, a result that secured their promotion to League A.
From Sky Blue to Claret and Blue
Rogers began his journey in the Manchester City academy before making the switch to Middlesbrough in July 2023. His impressive displays at the Riverside caught the eye of Villa, who swooped in to secure his signature in a January transfer window deal earlier this year.
Morgan has all the attributes to become a top player. He’s quick, skillful, intelligent and has an eye for goal. We’re delighted to have him commit his future to the club.

The Next Villa Park Icon?
With his new contract secured, Rogers will be looking to follow in the footsteps of Villa legends like Gabby Agbonlahor and Jack Grealish by establishing himself as a talismanic figure at the club. His versatility, pace and eye for goal make him a handful for any defense, and Villa fans will be hoping he can fire them to glory domestically and in Europe in the coming years.
The 22-year-old’s England recognition is also a major boost for Villa, who have a rich history of producing Three Lions stars. If Rogers can cement his place in Gareth Southgate’s plans ahead of Euro 2024, it will only further enhance his reputation and value to the club.
A Bright Future Ahead
With a contract that runs until 2030, Morgan Rogers has the opportunity to write his name into Aston Villa folklore. His scintillating start to the season and England debut have only served to underline his immense potential, and Villa fans will be eagerly anticipating what the future holds for their rising star.
As the Villans chase success on multiple fronts this season, Rogers will undoubtedly play a key role in their quest for glory. And with a long-term commitment now in place, the sky is the limit for this supremely talented young attacker.
