\"Nathan Baker has made one England Under-21 appearance<\/span> <\/p>\n

Aston Villa defender Nathan Baker has agreed a new three-year contract with the club.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old was on loan at then-League Two side Lincoln in the 2009\/2010 campaign and made five appearances for Villa last season.<\/p>\n

“I am over the moon,” said Baker, who has progressed through the Villa ranks.<\/p>\n

“I only had a year left of my previous contract so to extend my association with Villa is fantastic. I am really happy.”<\/p>\n

Baker, who can play as a central defender or left-back, made his Premier League debut in a 2-1 win at Wigan<\/a> in January.<\/p>\n

However, he was sent off in his next appearance when Villa beat Blackburn<\/a> in the FA Cup.<\/p>\n

He also made his full debut for the England Under-21 side<\/a> when he figured in the 2-1 friendly defeat by Iceland in March.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
