John Stones Signs Five-Year Manchester City Contract Extension

John Stones has signed a five-year deal at Manchester City until 2026.

The 27-year-old joined City from Everton five years ago and has gone on to win three Premier Leagues, two League Cups, and one FA Cup.

The England Centre-back was an integral part of the City squad as they reclaimed the league title last season, while his form earned him a recall to the England set-up.

Stones started every match as England reached the Euro 2020 final, while at City he made 35 appearances in all competitions in 2020-21.

“I couldn’t be happier,” Stones said. “I love being part of this squad. There are so many quality players here and I know we can continue winning trophies, which is my main focus.

“This is the best place for me to play my football and fulfil my ambitions.”

Stones joined City from Everton in 2016 for £47.5m.
