Nico O’Reilly, 20-year-old English international footballer, playing for Manchester City, has recently started finding a lot of game time in the first team under Pep Guardiola. He found his way into the first team last
season due to City’s vast injury crisis and has made more than 21 appearances since then, most of the games in an unfamiliar position as a left-back.
The English prodigy has started in six games for Man City this season and has contributed in a fair amount. City consider him as a vital asset for the future and have extended his contract which will now keep him until 2030. The 20-year-old City academy graduate who has already scored five goals, will be seen in the light blue jersey for some more years.
This is the best place for a footballer to be: Nico O’Reilly
Delighted with the signing of his new contract, Nico O’Reilly in an interview with Man City’s media handles said, "This is a day I will never forget. I have been at City since the age of eight, and to have made it into the first team and have played matches is a dream come true. To be rewarded with a new contract really is special. I am really proud and so is my mum!."
The City academy graduate further added, "But in truth, this is just the beginning for me. I have come so far, but I want to keep pushing now, improving every day, and become the best player I can be. Here at City, with Pep as manager, I know I can do that. This is the best place for a footballer to be.” O’Reilly will be keen on continuing his great form at the club and keep on creating special moments for the Cityzens.
