Rico Lewis has signed his 'dream' contract at Manchester City, where he will remain until 2028.
Lewis, 18, had one year left on his current contract, but has now signed a four-year extension on improved terms after playing a significant role in City's treble-winning season in 2022/23. After being taken on the pre-season tour last summer, Lewis impressed Pep Guardiola and was handed 23 appearances in his breakthrough campaign.
Guardiola credited Lewis with a season-changing contribution as the youngster led the way for John Stones, Kyle Walker and others to invert into midfield from full-back, which would prove to be the tactics that secured the Champions League for the Blues.
Now, with Lewis already looking to play an important role in his second senior season, the youngster has vowed to continue working hard to continue winning trophies for City.

“It’s been an unbelievable year for me and now to sign this contract is a dream come true," he said. "As a City fan I can remember watching us winning trophies when I was young and it’s the only place I’ve wanted to be.
“To know I’m going to be here until 2028 is fantastic and I can’t wait to keep working and keep improving. Everyone at the club has been so amazing, starting with the academy where I learnt so much and I am hugely grateful for everything they did.
“The fans have been brilliant too and I’ll give everything for them and the club to try to keep us being successful.”
Director of Football Txiki Begiristain said that Lewis' intelligence and versatility have impressed club staff, with a belief from the hierarchy that the full-back can play a big role in City's future successes.
