Micah Richards has today signed a new four year contract keeping him at Manchester City until at least 2010.

The teenage star put pen to paper on the new deal even though he had two years left on his existing contract.

The 18-year-old broke into the first team last season, making his debut at Arsenal in October. He chalked up 16 appearances last term and scored a famous injury time FA Cup equaliser at Aston Villa in February.
