Manchester City renewed contract with John Stones until 2026, the English football club confirmed on Tuesday.

"I love being part of this squad," Stones said in a statement.

"There are so many quality players here and I know we can continue winning trophies, which is my main focus."

"Working with the manager (Pep Guardiola) is a dream – he has taught me so much about the game and I feel like I learn something new every single day," he added.

The English central defender joined Manchester City in 2016.

Stones, 27, helped the City win three English Premier League titles, four English League Cups, and an English FA Cup trophy.

He has scored 10 goals in 168 games for the Sky Blues.
