Ashley Young is to leave Aston Villa at the end of his contract this summer.
The 37-year-old rejoined Villa in 2021 after winning the Serie A title at Inter Milan.
‘Aston Villa can confirm that Ashley Young will be leaving the club upon the expiration of his contract,’ read a club statement.
‘Everyone at Aston Villa would like to sincerely thank Ashley for his service to the club and wish him all the very best in his future endeavours.’
It comes despite Young revealing his hopes that he would sign a contract extension at Villa Park – following their 2-1 victory over Brighton which sealed their place in next season’s Europa Conference League.

Villa decided not to offer Young a new deal despite the player’s hopes of signing an extension
As reported by the Express and Star, when asked about his future in a post-match interview, he said: ‘For me, you have to ask the manager and the owner. But I want to stay.’
Despite Young’s hopes, it’s clear that Villa boss Unai Emery had no plans for the player next season.
Young made over 100 appearances for Watford before joining Villa in 2007.
He signed for Manchester United in 2011 and won the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League during nine years at Old Trafford.
Young moved to Inter in 2020 and became the third Englishman to win Italy’s top prize after Jimmy Greaves and Gerry Hitchens in 1963.
The 39-time England international, who can play as a left back or left wing-back, made 32 appearances last season and has racked up 250 for Villa across his two spells with the club.
