Striker Phil Foden has extended his contract with Manchester City until 2030, according to an announcement by the 10-time English Premier League champions on Wednesday.

The new deal gives the England international a great deal of stability after a turbulent period in his career, and also provides a morale boost to his new Italian manager, Enzo Maresca.

Foden, 26, suffered a dip in form during a period impacted by injuries that limited his appearances, and also saw him excluded from the England squad for the recent World Cup.

His contract was set to expire at the end of next season, but his new agreement, which includes an option for an additional year, has secured his long-term future.

Foden said: 'Tying my future to Manchester City means everything to me. Playing for this club is all I've ever wanted, and wearing this shirt is a great honor for me.'

He added: 'I am well aware that I have been fortunate to be part of a historic period that saw us win many titles, but we always look to the future and strive for more.'

He continued: 'I can only thank the club, the coaching staff, my teammates, and the fans for their belief in me and their trust that I give my all for City, and I hope to be able to repay that for years to come.'

Foden has won six Premier League titles with City, the Champions League, two FA Cups, and five League Cups since being promoted from the club's academy to the first team.

Foden is the most decorated player in Manchester City's history alongside Portuguese Bernardo Silva and John Stones, both of whom left at the end of last season.

But a year ago, after struggling to regain the form he showed in previous seasons, Foden spoke openly about his off-field battles with his mental health.

Foden has scored 110 goals in 369 appearances for City, but he started only seven of the team's last 26 matches under former Spanish manager Pep Guardiola, before Maresca, the former Chelsea boss, took over in June.

Foden confirmed he is looking forward to working with Maresca, who was part of Guardiola's coaching staff during the historic treble-winning season of 2022-23. 'I am very excited. I have worked with Enzo before. When he was with us during the treble season, he was fantastic.'

He added: 'His attention to detail and the small things that make a big difference, even from the current training sessions with him, you can see how exceptional he is as a coach.'

He continued: 'The way he likes to build play from the back and rely heavily on possession suits my playing style perfectly.'
