Scott Carson signs Man City contract extension

Manchester City goalkeeper Scott Carson has extended his contract with the club. The veteran stopper has signed a one-year extension to stay at the Etihad for another season.

The 36-year-old, who joined the Blues in 2019, remains City 's third-choice goalkeeper but is lauded by fans and also by teammates for his experience and presence in the squad.

“I’m delighted to be staying with City for another season,” Carson said. “To work with Pep, the coaches and such talented teammates is a real honour and one I relish every day.

"I have already gained so much from my time here and hopefully I can keep helping to push the Club’s other goalkeepers to be the best they can be.”

Director of Football Txiki Begiristain added: “Scott is an exemplary professional and his experience is of real benefit to the entire squad.

“His teammates, especially the goalkeepers, have great respect for his achievements in the game and his support has been a huge help to them.

“As he has demonstrated, we know he is always ready to play should he be called upon.”
