Key role
The 23-year-old has become pivotal to Martin O'Neill's team at Villa Park following his €12m switch from Watford FC in January 2007. He has missed just one Premier League match since, helping the Midlands outfit finish sixth last season to reach the UEFA Intertoto Cup and subsequently the UEFA Cup group stage for the first time. Capped three times by England, Young has been rewarded with an improved contract, tying him to Villa Park until 2012.
