The remarkable story of Phil Foden with English football club Manchester City continues, as he extended his contract with the club on Wednesday until 2030.

After renewing his contract with City, this means the academy graduate will surpass the 20-year mark within the club's corridors, having first joined at the Under-9 age group.

Since then, Foden has worked his way up from ball boy and passionate fan to promising talent, then to global star, and now prepares to write a new chapter in his storied career with the club, having become one of the most experienced players in the squad of new Italian head coach Enzo Maresca.

Manchester City's official website highlighted Foden's journey with the team, which we shed light on in the following lines.

20 trophies

No player has won more official trophies with Manchester City than Foden; the 26-year-old is level with Portuguese Bernardo Silva and English John Stones on the list of the club's most decorated players in history.

Since his debut in 2017, Foden has won 6 Premier League titles, 5 League Cups, 3 FA Cups, 3 Community Shields, plus one each in the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and Club World Cup.

In the Premier League alone, only five players in history have lifted the title more than him.

110 goals

Foden is one of only 20 players to have scored 100 or more goals for Manchester City in its 132-year history.

Although he is as much a playmaker as a goalscorer, he has been extremely decisive at various points in his career so far.

Foden's current tally makes him second in the current squad in terms of goals, behind only Norwegian striker Erling Haaland with 162 goals.

68 of Foden's goals came in the Premier League, 20 in the Champions League, 12 in the FA Cup, alongside 6 in the League Cup and 4 in the Club World Cup.

The 2023/24 season was by far the most prolific in Foden's career, as he found the net 27 times in all competitions, winning the Premier League Player of the Season, PFA Players' Player of the Year, and FWA Footballer of the Year awards.

Foden's role also involves creating goals for others, as he has provided a total of 68 assists in a Manchester City shirt so far.

369 appearances

With 369 appearances, Foden is quickly climbing the list of players with most appearances for Manchester City.

The English star currently ranks 25th on the list, but he will surpass names like Ederson, Frank Swift, and Fernandinho early in the new season if all goes well.

Since becoming a regular in the team during the 2019/20 season, Foden has averaged about 48 appearances per season, and if he maintains this rate in the new campaign, he will move up to 14th on the club's all-time list by the end of the 2026/27 season.

First appearance on the substitutes' bench at age 16

Until the start of the new season, Spaniard Josep Guardiola remains the only manager Foden has played under at the club's first-team level.

Foden first featured in Manchester City's first team when he was named on the substitutes' bench for a Champions League match against Scottish side Celtic in December 2016, at just 16 years old.

That was in Guardiola's first season in England, a clear sign of his belief that Foden would develop into a major star.

Foden made his first-team debut the following November when Manchester City beat Dutch side Feyenoord 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium... and the rest, as they say, is history.

Foden and Guardiola shared a special relationship, with the Catalan coach continuously supporting the English international and giving him opportunities season after season, but he will now adapt to life under new coach Enzo Maresca, whom he already knows well after the Italian's prominent role in the coaching staff during the historic treble-winning season of 2022/23 (league, FA Cup, and Champions League).

3 hat-tricks

That is the number of hat-tricks Phil Foden has scored for Manchester City, with the first coming in the Manchester derby at the Etihad in the 2022/23 season when City won a historic match 6-3, sharing the spotlight with Erling Haaland who also scored a hat-trick.

The second and third hat-tricks came within just two months during the final stretch of the 2023/24 season, driving Manchester City towards another Premier League title. In February, he made the difference against Brentford, before adding three more goals against Aston Villa at the Etihad in April.
