Bury-born Manchester City defender Rico Lewis has signed a new five-year contract following a mixed opening start to the season for the teenage star.

Lewis, 18, joined City's academy as an eight-year-old and progressed through the youth ranks, going on to make 23 appearances with the first team last season as Pep Guardiola's side won the Treble.

Lewis' deal will keep him at City until the summer of 2028.

"It's been an unbelievable year for me and now to sign this contract is a dream come true," Lewis said on the Manchester City website.

"As a City fan I can remember watching us winning trophies when I was young and it's the only place I've wanted to be.

"To know I'm going to be here until 2028 is fantastic and I can't wait to keep working and keep improving."

Lewis played in City's 3-0 away win over Burnley to kick off the new season on Friday night.

Burnley said a fan had been removed from Turf Moor by the police after throwing a missile at City defender Rico Lewis in the first half.

Lewis had been pushed over by Burnley’s Connor Roberts by the corner flag near to home fans and was hit on the head by the object.

A Burnley FC spokesperson said:: “We are aware of an incident that happened in the first half of the match where a missile was thrown at Manchester City player Rico Lewis.

“This is unacceptable. The person responsible has been identified and removed from the ground by the police.

"Any individual found guilty of throwing missiles within the stadium will receive a banning order.”

Moving on from the ugly incident, City believe there is a bright future ahead for Lewis.

City's director of football Txiki Begiristain added: "Rico is a really intelligent footballer and is already a mature and reliable member of the squad.

"He absorbs every single piece of information Pep gives him, which for a player of his age is special.

"We are very proud to have watched his journey through the academy and to see him playing with such confidence in the first team.

"His energy and hunger around the squad is contagious and we believe he can help to bring more success in the coming years."
