Aston Villa fullback Matty Cash has received a new name after gaining Polish citizenship.

Cash could make his international debut in next month's World Cup qualifiers against Andorra or Hungary.

The Aston Villa right-back applied for Polish citizenship in September after qualifying through his Polish mother and grandfather.

And after being granted citizenship, Cash has received a new name - Mateusz Gotowka.

On Monday, the President of the Polish FA, Cezary Kulesza, confirmed the 24-year-old's application had been approved.

Cash now has dual nationality - with Poland's President Andrzej Duda quick to Tweet: "Congratulations and good luck on the pitch."
