Two Man City players sign contract extensions as 13 youngsters sign first professional deals

Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford has signed a new long-term deal, as the club have confirmed first professional contracts for 13 youngsters.

Trafford, 19, impressed last season on loan at Accrington and Bolton in League One, and has already secured another season at the University of Bolton Stadium for the coming campaign. He is yet to make his debut for City but has been on the bench six times for Pep Guardiola's side, and he has now penned a new four year deal, taking his contract to 2027.

The club have also announced 11 academy players have been handed their first contracts on professional terms, with a further two players to sign when they turn 17 this month.
