Now the Villans have kicked off negotiations with the 22-year-old as the club are keen to raise his salary in line with his teammates and reflect his key role in the squad at Villa Park [Jacob Tanswell].
Villa podcaster Bracey, who features on the Villa Social, is glad by this news and has compared Rogers to former captain and fan favourite Grealish.
Speaking exclusively to Villa News, Bracey said: “It’s massively warranted. His salary, given his consistency and form, should put him up there with the big earners.
“We need to tie down players like that because there is going to be eyes on him. Teams will see Villa doing well in the table and ask who is the driving force on the pitch and making those results happen.
