Aston Villa’s Surprising Gamble: Why Morgan Rogers’ Struggles Could Secure His Future at the Club
When England line up against Latvia on Tuesday, Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers will expect to be in the starting line-up.
Rogers has been on a hugely impressive upwards tear. After four years at Manchester City, for whom he signed from West Bromwich Albion, the 23-year-old took a while to make his mark.
Man City loaned out the Halesowen-born attacking midfielder to Lincoln City, AFC Bournemouth and Blackpool between 2021 and 2023. Two years ago he was sold to Championship club Middlesbrough without playing a Premier League game.
Rogers’ progress at Villa lifted expectations
Rogers joined Villa in January 2024 after fewer than 30 Championship appearances for Boro. Unlike many other new Villa signings, the former West Brom youngster was essentially thrown straight into the side.
He hadn’t looked back until August, when question marks over his form – question marks whose origins emerged last season – became one of the dominant features of Villa’s dreadful start to 2025-26.
