Andreas Weimann signs new Villa deal
Friday 26th August 2011, 9:39AM BST.
Villa young star Andreas Weimann today signed a two-year contract extension and revealed it took just hours to agree terms.
The Austrian striker has convinced boss Alex McLeish to hand him a fresh deal which ties him to the club until 2014.
Weimann, 20, made his debut against West Ham in August last year but then missed much of the season with a serious ankle injury before being loaned to Watford.
“We started talking on Wednesday and I signed it today,” said Weimann. “We did a little bit of negotiating but obviously if I get a contract for the first team with Villa it’s great. I was happy to sign another contract.
“It’s great to be here, it’s a great club and it shows me I can be a first-team player in the next few years.”
