Matt Targett, born 18 September 1995 (age 30), is an English left-back whose career has been built on regular, functional work down the left side. He is primarily associated here with Aston Villa, with his profile sitting in the established professional bracket rather than anything more dramatic.
His most productive league season came with Middlesbrough in 2025-26, when he scored four goals in 42 appearances. For a full-back, that is a useful return, and it suggests a player trusted to get through a campaign rather than drift around the edges of one.
His market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt. Targett’s career, on the details available, is a straightforward one: an experienced English left-back, with Aston Villa in the background and a productive Middlesbrough season standing out clearly.
