Thierry Katsukunya has signed his first professional contract with Aston Villa.
The young defender signed for Villa in November 2021 at the age of 16, moving across the midlands from Coventry City where he had been since 2014.
Academy Manager Mark Harrison said: “We are delighted to see Thierry sign his first professional contract.
"It is recognition of the potential he has displayed and his excellent attitude.
“This has also led to him being involved in our Under-21s and being selected for Wales at Under-17s level. We look forward to seeing how he continues to develop with us."
