Aston Villa have signed defender Matty Cash from Championship (second-tier) side Nottingham Forest for an undisclosed fee, the Premier League club said on Thursday. British media said that Villa, who finished 17th in the English top flight last season, had paid an initial 14 million pounds ($18.62 million) to Forest, with that figure likely to rise to 16 million pounds with add-ons.
Cash later tweeted https://twitter.com/mattycash622/status/1301440770898112512 that he had signed a five-year contract, adding that joining Villa was "something I've always dreamed of since I was a young boy".
