Aston Villa boss Smith says there's more to come from Targett

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith says there's more to come from Matt Targett next season.

Targett, who joined Villa in a £14million deal two summers ago, rebounded from an inconsistent debut campaign to become the only outfield player to start every league game last term.

Smith said: “We knew the talent that people like Matt Targett had when we brought them in.

“We wanted him to make him more robust, more endurance-based and he's certainly become that type of player.

“I think players' player of the year is one of the best awards you can win because it's from the people in that dressing room. He has consistently got better and better.

“There is loads more to come from him, there is a lot more he can improve, especially around that endurance but technically he's a really top player."
