Hart signs new City contract

Joe Hart has signed a new long-term contract which keeps him at Manchester City until the end of the 2018-19 season.

The England goalkeeper, 27, joins Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko, Aleksandar Kolarov, Samir Nasri and David Silva in signing a new contract with the club in 2014.

Hart told the clubs official website: Im really happy, Ive been here a long time now and I want to keep that going.

The new deal means I get to stay longer - the clubs doing amazing things at the moment, weve created history and we want to keep doing that.

Wanting to stay here was never going to be an issue for me - Ive loved every moment since I joined.The clubs growing and Ive been really lucky to be part of the ride.

I just want to keep winning with the team and keep developing. A lot of the boys have signed long-term deals, so were building as a squad and I think that quite a few of us have been here for a long time now.

Were enjoying building that winning mentality, how the club is growing around us and how we need to grow along with it.

Hart joined the club from Shrewsbury Town and has made 276 appearances since.
