# Aston Villa: Fans react to Targett news

**Plenty of Aston Villa fans have been sharing their love for Matt Targett on social media after the left-back signed a new deal at Villa Park.**

The club [confirmed the news](https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2021/april/Targett-signs-contract-extension/) on Thursday evening, with the 25-year-old extending his stay until [2025](https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2021/april/Targett-signs-contract-extension/).

Targett has been a regular under Dean Smith this season, [starting each of Villa’s 32 Premier League fixtures so far](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matt-targett/leistungsdaten/spieler/250478).

He’s registered [one assist](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matt-targett/leistungsdaten/spieler/250478) and has been the club’s sixth-best performer of the current campaign, as per WhoScored.

His previous deal was thought to be worth [£35,000-a-week](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/aston-villa-fc/payroll/), and it remains to be seen if he has received a pay rise for his impressive displays, but one would have to assume so.
