Rogers, the former Manchester City attacker, had previously been on a contract that expired in 2030, but he has been rewarded for his hot streak of form from last term, where he notched 14 goals in all competitions, adding 16 assists as Villa narrowly missed out on a top-four finish by three points.

A major police operation accompanied a Europa League match between Aston Villa and Maccabi Tel Aviv on Thursday, November 6, as the Israeli side’s visit drew large numbers of pro-Palestinian protesters.
