Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey has been named the Premier League's academy graduate of the season.

The annual award goes to players who have made a successful transition from academy to first-team. Past winners include Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) and Bukayo Saka (Arsenal).

An England U21 international, Ramsey has been with Villa since he was six years of age.

He marked his 100th senior appearance in style last Saturday by netting the opener in a 1-1 draw at Liverpool.

Ramsey said: I'm really proud. I'm 21 and I remember my first appearance for the club at home against West Brom, coming on, looking nervous, shaky.

But I'm proud and thankful for all the managers I've had in my time here to believe in me and play me."
