Earlier this afternoon Aston Villa confirmed that Academy Graduate Corey Blackett-Taylor had signed a new contract extension with us.

The 20-year-old young winger has signed a one-year extension to his existing deal keeping him at Bodymoor Heath until at least the summer of 2019.
He has become a regular for Kevin MacDonald’s Under 23 side and he made his first-team bow as a substitute last season in the game against Huddersfield Town. This year he followed that up with another substitute showing in the League Cup clash with Middlesbrough.
The vast majority of fans are no doubt delighted with the news given the youngster is really starting to make a name for himself in the Under 23 competitions this year. He’s played a key role as we continue to have one eye on the Premier League 2 Division 2 title. Our other eye is on potential Premier League Cup success and we travel to the King Power Stadium next Friday for a clash with Leicester City in the Semi-Finals.
If you take a look at the photo though, some fans think it would only be fair to give him a pen and not a pencil.
Get the lad a pen
