Aston Villa have tied down defender Matty Cash to a new long-term deal, with the Poland international committing his future to the club until 2029.
The 28-year-old right-back, who joined Villa from Nottingham Forest in 2020, has been a consistent presence under multiple managers and has now racked up 193 appearances in claret and blue.
His previous contract was due to run until 2027, but Villa have moved to secure one of their key players for an additional two years.
Cash celebrated the announcement in style by scoring his second goal of the season during Villa’s impressive 1-0 victory over Manchester City on Sunday – a performance that capped off another strong individual display.
Speaking after the match, Cash said his growing belief in front of goal has been key to his recent form.
“I’m playing with a lot of confidence,” he said on Sunday.

“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.”
Since arriving from Forest for a reported £16 million, Cash has evolved into one of the Premier League’s most dependable full-backs, balancing defensive discipline with attacking energy down the right flank.
The Poland international, eligible through his mother, made his debut for the national team in 2021 and represented them at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
He remains the first-choice right-back for both club and country, reflecting his consistency and maturity since making the move to the Midlands.
