Aston Villa announced on Wednesday that Sil Swinkels, Oliwier Zych and Aaron O’Reilly have all signed professional deals at the club.

Villa shared the news on their official Twitter page, which led to a number of supporters giving their positive thoughts to the news on the trio.

The three 17-year-old’s have become the latest youngsters to commit their future at Villa Park, with defender Swinkels and goalkeeper Zych helping the club to a first FA Youth Cup triumph since 2002 last season.

O’Reilly, who played for the Under-18’s and Under 23’s last season, only made the move to the Midlands last summer from Irish club St Patrick’s Athletic.

Swinkels, Zych and O’Reilly have joined seven U23’s and six U18’s who penned new Vila terms earlier this summer, with the club also bringing in new signings to their academy.
