Manchester City centre-back Taylor Harwood-Bellis has committed his long-term future to the club after signing a new four-year contract that promises to keep him at the Etihad Stadium until 2024.

The 18-year-old academy product was handed his first-team debut in September last year and has since gone on to make six senior appearances in total, all in cup competitions.

The teenager scored his debut goal in a 4-1 FA Cup win against Port Vale in January.

The centre-back told CityTV: “This is a dream come true for me and my family. I’ve been at City since I was young and I love this football club.

“To have played for the first team was the culmination of so much hard work, and this new contract feels like the next big step in my career.

“The club have given me so much and I want to thank them. So many coaches across the academy have helped me become the player I am today and now Pep (Guardiola) and his staff are helping me to improve.

“The confidence Pep has placed in me makes me feel like anything is possible, and the work he and his staff do on the training field is making me a better defender.

“I am happy with my progress. I am at the right place to keep improving and developing.

“I’m just so glad this contract is all sorted because it now means I can concentrate on improving further and achieving my goals.”

He’s here to stay! 🙌
