Carson commits to City with new 12-month deal

Manchester City’s third-choice goalkeeper Scott Carson has signed a new 12-month contract, the Premier League champions have announced.

The former England international, 37, has made just two first-team appearances since joining City, initially on loan, in 2019 but has been an important part of manager Pep Guardiola’s squad.

“I’m excited to be staying at City,” Carson told the club’s website. “I love working with Pep, Xabi Mancisidor and our incredible players every day.

“Hopefully I can help all of our goalkeepers be at their best.”

Guardiola said: “He deserves it. He's an important figure for us. You cannot imagine how important.

“We are very pleased to have him. We have him in the locker room and you cannot believe the impact.”
