Academy Manager Mark Harrison said:

“We're delighted Alfie has signed a new contract.

“He’s a local lad who has been here since the age of 9 and comes from a family of big Villa fans.

“Alfie is a technical, creative midfield player with an eye for a goal as well. He played an important part last season in the success of the Under-18s, and we look forward to seeing how he develops over the next few years.”
