‘Best signing of the summer’, ‘Better than Haaland’ – Man City fans react as Scott Carson signs new 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 is now tied to the club until the summer of 2023. He has spent three years at City, having initially joined on loan in summer 2019. That deal was then extended until the end of the 2020-21 campaign.

Carson joined on a free transfer last summer on a one-year deal, which has now been extended for a further season.

“I’m delighted to be staying with City for another season,” Carson said.

“To work with Pep, the coaches and such talented team-mates 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.”

Carson made his senior debut in 2004 for Leeds United and has since gone on to play for Liverpool, Charlton, Aston Villa, West Bromwich Albion, Bursaspor, Wigan Athletic and Derby County.

He has made two appearances for City in his time at the club.

The news was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.
