Kortney Paul Duncan Hause (born 16 July 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a centre-back or left-back for Premier League club Aston Villa.

Hause was released by West Ham at sixteen having joined the club's academy at a young age from his local side Lakeview F.C.

[23] On 17 June 2019, after gaining promotion to the Premier League, Aston Villa announced that they had taken up the option to permanently transfer Hause.

[30] The following season, after undergoing multiple knee surgeries, it was reported that Hause was training with the Villa's U21 team in a bid to gain fitness and find a move away from the club.

[31] In January 2024, Hause returned to first team training for the first time since his last competitive appearance, 15 months ago whilst on loan with Watford.

After over two years without a competitive match, in December 2024 Hause responded to media reports that Aston Villa would look to end his contract, indicating that he understood the club's decision and he would not fight the process.
