Matty Cash, born on 7 August 1997 (age 29), is a Poland international right-back whose senior career has been shaped mainly by Aston Villa. His current market value is around £24m, according to Transfermarkt.
He came through at Nottingham Forest, where his early loan experience helped put some senior edge on his game before he settled into regular Championship football. His most productive league season came in 2018-19, when he scored six goals in 36 league appearances for Forest.
The move to Aston Villa gave his career its main platform. Across seven seasons he has made 187 league appearances and scored 10 league goals for the club, a long enough run to make Villa the clear centre of his career rather than just another stop on the route.
In 2026-27, Cash has made six Aston Villa appearances across all competitions, including Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Super Cup outings. He has also been active for Poland, with nine appearances and two goals in World Cup qualifying, plus four more in the Nations League.
Cash’s career has moved from Forest development and loan grounding into a sustained spell at Aston Villa, with Poland now a regular part of the picture as well. It is a solid, established profile rather than a complicated one.
