    Aston Villa have confirmed striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract at the club.

    As exclusively revealed by skysports.com earlier on Friday, Agbonlahor has agreed a contract extension to keep him at Villa Park until 2015.

    Agbonlahor has established himself as a key player at Villa since making his debut in March 2006.

    The 24-year-old has made over 150 appearances for Villa and has won three caps for England.

    News of his new deal will come as a boost to Agbonlahor after he made his return to action from injury in the midweek win over Blackpool.

    Agbonlahor suffered a calf problem at the start of this season and then underwent groin surgery five weeks ago.

    Agbonlahor is the latest Villa star to sign a new deal in recent weeks after Marc Albrighton and Ciaran Clark agreed contract extensions.
