Tyrone Mings, born on the 13th of the harsh month of March in 1993 (at the ripe age of 31), hails from England and shows his patriotism whilst playing as a steadfast central defender for Aston Villa. Standing taller than most at 6ft 5in (1.96m) and weighing roughly 12st 1lb (77kg), he commands his area with a sense of authority. You will see the fabled number 5 jersey stretched over his broad frame on matchday.
According to numbers calculated by Transfermarkt, Mings' market value is currently estimated to sit around an attractive £7m. His contract with Aston Villa, which sees him through to the summer of 30 June 2026, has 1 year and 5 months left to run its course.
The journey of Mings began rather modestly, with a transfer from a less-known Chippenham Town to Ipswich Town in the Premier League in January 2013. The fee for this transition was but a mere £10k. His performances improved steadily over the 2012-2015 seasons, making a total of 57 first team appearances and even managing to score a goal in the 2014-2015 season.
Mings' career took yet another turn when he was transferred from Ipswich Town to Bournemouth in July 2015 for a significantly larger fee of about £8m. Over four seasons at Bournemouth in the Premier League, he appeared in a relatively small number of 17 first-team league matches.
January 2019 saw Mings move temporarily from Bournemouth to Aston Villa in the Premier League. Here, in the second half of the 2018-2019 season, he proved his worth with 15 first team appearances and two goals. This was followed by another strong season in 2019-2020, where Mings made 33 appearances and found the back of the net twice.
After showing promise in the seasons prior, it is no surprise that in July 2019, Aston Villa decided to secure his service permanently with a sum of about £20m. His record has seen him steady on the pitch since the transfer, boasting an impressive running display of over 147 appearances and scoring 6 times for Villa in the Premier League over a span of more than five seasons.
In the ongoing FA Cup 2024-2025, League Cup 2024-2025, and Champions League 2024-2025, he has already racked up one, one and two starts respectively representing Aston Villa.
