Aston Villa may be pursuing a new goalkeeper this summer but they’ve handed Jed Steer a massive boost by rewarding him with a new contract that’s set to keep him at the club until 2023.
The Villans have been linked with moves for Neil Etheridge, Jack Butland and Tom Heaton so the decision to renew Steer’s contract is a significant move.
Understandably, Villa fans were delighted with the news, taking to Twitter to celebrate his new deal.
Some supporters decided to focus on his efforts during the play-offs as one declared that they wouldn’t be in the Premier League without him. Another said it was well deserved for helping the Midlands outfit get to Wembley.
A further fan hailed the way he came into the team under pressure whilst one individual claimed he deserved to be their number one next term.

Here’s the best of the reaction.
