Tyrone Deon Mings (born 13 March 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Premier League club Aston Villa and the England national team.

Mings signed for Ipswich Town in December 2012 and made his Football League debut on the final day of the 2012–13 season.

He joined Aston Villa on loan for the remainder of the 2018–19 season in January 2019, helping the club win promotion to the Premier League through the Championship play-offs.

On 4 January 2014, Mings started an FA Cup tie against Preston North End at right-back instead of his usual left-back role.

[17] On 26 June 2015, Mings signed for newly promoted Premier League club AFC Bournemouth on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee, reported to be £8 million.

[20] On 13 December 2016, he made his comeback after 15 months as a late substitute in a 1–0 home win over defending champions Leicester City, the same opponent when he got injured in his debut.

[21] On 8 March 2017, Mings was banned by the FA for five matches following an alleged stamp on Zlatan Ibrahimović in a 1–1 draw against Manchester United on the previous weekend.

The match was the subject of controversy following an incident where Mings stepped on the face of Reading forward Nélson Oliveira after a tussle for the ball.

[31] Despite Villa's poor run of form at that time, Mings was a standout performer and quickly became a fan favourite despite only recently arriving from Bournemouth.

[32] On 27 May 2019, Mings played in the 2019 Championship play-off final, where he helped Villa beat Derby County 2–1, and gain promotion to the Premier League.

[38] On 27 July 2022, it was announced that Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard had made the decision to remove the captaincy from Mings for the upcoming season, instead naming John McGinn as the new captain.

[41] On 12 August 2023, the opening day of the 2023–24 season away at Newcastle United, Mings suffered a significant knee injury, that required him to be carried off the pitch on a stretcher.

[42] On 5 October 2024, after 420 days on the sidelines, Mings returned to football as a permitted overage player for Aston Villa U21s against Newcastle in the Premier League 2, playing the first 45 minutes.

[47] Mings received his first England call-up in August 2019 when he was announced as part of the squad for the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Kosovo.

[50] He started the opening group match of the tournament, helping England keep a clean sheet in a 1–0 win against Croatia on 13 June at Wembley.

[54] Mings' full tweet read: "You don't get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as 'Gesture Politics' & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we're campaigning against, happens.
