As Thursday evening drew in, Aston Villa finally confirmed the news that fans had been expecting across the afternoon – centre half Kortney Hause had penned a new long term extension with us, up to 2025.
Delighted to extend my stay at the club that’s been a huge part of my career. Grateful for the faith the gaffer & his team have shown me since joining the club. Also want to thank the fans for their support over the years. I’ll continue to give my all every time I wear the shirt. pic.twitter.com/gfhua5GMQl

The 26-year-old initially joined us in January 2019 from Wolverhampton Wanderers, before then making the deal permanent that summer. Whilst Hause’s game time has been limited, he has still notched up 48 starts, and six substitute showings and he’s played a massive part in our rise back to the Premier League, and helped us to the position we are now in – looking to kick on further.
With some speculation earlier this season that Hause might be looking to move on, it certainly doesn’t sound like it when you listened to him speak about his new deal.
“I’m over the moon. It’s a big club, a big part of my life, big part of my football career. Since the day I signed, I’ve felt a real love for the club in terms of showing how much they wanted to bring me to the club. So from the first day I signed, I’ve felt loved and wanted and to extend for another three-and-a-half years. I’m very, very happy, I’m delighted.”
He’s not the only one judging by the reactions on social media.
A very wise move. Kudos Kortney, and kudos Steven. 👍

Well deserved. Always fits in flawlessly when called upon. Still young and hopefully with Europe in the future more game time to put your stamp on the team and claim a stake.

Get in! Might not get the game time he wants but always steps up when called on.
Plus cracking goal against Man Utd earlier this season

It’s turning into a very good January for Villa, and with just over a week to go, let’s hope we haven’t finished yet and we can really end 2021/22 on a high.
