Matty Cash, born on 7 August 1997 (age 29), is a Poland international right-back whose senior career has been shaped mainly in England. Early loan football formed part of his development before he established himself at Nottingham Forest, where his best scoring league season came in 2018-19: six goals in 36 appearances.
That Forest spell took him to Aston Villa, where the balance of his career has been built. Across seven seasons he has made 187 league appearances and scored 10 league goals for Villa, a long enough run to make the club the clear centre of his professional story rather than just another stop on the way.
In 2026-27, Cash has made four Premier League appearances for Aston Villa, along with outings in the FA Cup and UEFA Super Cup, taking him to six appearances in all competitions for the season. His current market value is around £24m, according to Transfermarkt.
He has also remained involved with Poland, making nine appearances in European World Cup qualifying this season and scoring twice, as well as three Nations League appearances. His career to date is a straightforward one: developed through Forest, matured at Villa, and established internationally with Poland.
