Bacuna awarded new five year deal

Leandro Bacuna has committed his long term future to Aston Villa.

The Dutchman, who can play at right back but prefers midfield, has put his moniker on a five-year contract with the club.

Bacuna was snapped up by Villa in June 2013 from FC Groningen and has scored six usually spectacular goals in his 66 competitive appearances.

"I love it here and am really excited about my future," Bacuna told the club website.

"I feel I can really develop here and show my worth."

Bacuna becomes the latest Villa player to commit his future to the club after Ciaran Clark, Nathan Baker and Ashley Westwood also signed new deals.
