Rico Lewis had been linked with a move away in the summer with Nottingham Forest interested, but both the player and the club turned it down and his future now lies with City after putting pen to paper on this long term deal.
Since he made his way from the academy to the first team during the treble season in 2022/23, Lewis has won seven major trophies, including two Premier League titles and a Champions League.
He has scored five goals for the senior team as he is mainly deployed in a right back role, but he did manage a goal on his first start in the Champions League and became the youngest player to do so at just 17 years of age.
