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 was born in Bath, Avon to former non-League striker Adie Mings. Mings joined Southampton in 2001 as an eight-year-old, but was released in 2009 when the youth budget was axed. After leaving Southampton, he attended Millfield school in Somerset for two years on a football scholarship. After leaving school, Mings signed for non-league side Yate Town in Gloucestershire. In the summer of 2012, he considered quitting football before eventually signing for his home town team Chippenham Town. Mings combined his non-league career with jobs as a barman and a mortgage advisor.
Mings signed for Ipswich Town in 2013 after a short trial for a fee of £10,000 and an agreement for Ipswich to play a pre-season game against Chippenham. On 4 May 2013, Mings made his debut for Ipswich on the last day of the 2012–13 season against Burnley. He went on into the 2013–14 season starting two more games due to the suspension of Aaron Cresswell. On 4 January 2014, Mings started an FA Cup tie against Preston North End at right back instead of his usual left back role.
