Tyrone Mings, born on 13 March 1993 (age 33), is an England central defender whose career has been shaped above all by Aston Villa. At 6ft 5in (1.96m), he is an imposing presence, and Villa have had plenty of use for that over a long spell in their back line.
Across nine seasons with Aston Villa, Mings has made 191 league appearances and scored eight league goals. His most productive league campaign came in 2018-19, when he scored two goals in 15 appearances. That period remains central to the way his career is understood: not as a player who drifted through Villa Park, but as one who became a regular part of the club’s modern Premier League identity.
In 2026-27, wearing squad number five, he has made four Premier League appearances, along with one League Cup appearance and one UEFA Super Cup appearance, taking him to six appearances for Villa across all competitions. His current market value is around £7m, according to Transfermarkt. His career is not complicated to place: Mings is an England defender with a long, substantial Aston Villa spell at the centre of it.
