Aston Villa’s Release List 2022

The Premier League today published the release lists of Premier League league teams with Aston Villa listing eight players, including the notable names of both Ashley Young and Conor Hourihane.

Both Young and Hourihane’s contracts expire on June 30th, so their inclusion was expected.

In the case of Young, there is still the potential of him signing for another season, after Steven Gerrard had hinted as much, towards the end of last season.

If his fitness is still there, the fact that Premier League teams can make five active substitutes next season, may make him a useful experienced utility player, if Villa think there to be another season in his legs.

With almost two weeks to run of the former England international’s contract, you’d expect an announcement from the club of a contract extension or a parting of ways within this time.

As the Premier League release list stipulates:

Please note players signified as a “free transfer” or released by a club on the expiry of their contract on 30 June 2022 could still remain at that club next season, so this list should not be seen as definitive for players leaving their club.

Aston Villa’s listed released players were:
