Manchester City announced Wednesday that English defender Kyle Walker has signed a two-year extension with the club.

Walker’s new contract will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until the end of the 2023-2024 season.

"I’m thrilled to have signed a new deal,” Walker said, according to the club's official website.

"I want to be competing for trophies, playing at the highest level, and I feel I have improved hugely as a player during my time here," he added.

"We are delighted to have Kyle here for a further two years," said Txiki Begiristain, the director of football at Manchester City.

"His strength, speed and ability have been vital to our accomplishments. He is a key member of the squad," Begiristain said.
