Joe Hart has committed his future to Manchester City by signing a new contract which will keep him at the club until 2019.
The
England goalkeeper becomes the latest City player to extend his stay at
the Etihad Stadium, following the likes of Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko,
Aleksandar Kolarov, Samir Nasri and David Silva.
The 27-year-old told the club's official website: "I'm really happy, I've been here a long time now and I want to keep that going."
Hart said: "The new deal means I get to stay longer -- the club's
doing amazing things at the moment, we've created history and we want to
keep doing that.
"Wanting to stay here was never going to be an
issue for me -- I've loved every moment since I joined. The club's
growing and I've been really lucky to be part of the ride.
"I just want to keep winning with the team and keep developing. A lot
of the boys have signed long-term deals, so we're building as a squad
and I think that quite a few of us have been here for a long time now.
"We're enjoying building that winning mentality, how the club is growing is around us and how we need to grow along with it."
Confirmation of Hart's deal had been expected since manager Manuel Pellegrini revealed an agreement was close a fortnight ago.
