Wright-Phillips signs extension

BRADLEY WRIGHT-PHILLIPS has signed a four-year contract extension with Manchester City.

The 20-year-old only agreed a new deal last season but after showing further improvement during the summer, City officials have decided to tie him down until 2009.

“It’s good news all round,” said Wright-Phillips, half-brother to England star Shaun.

“I never, ever thought about leaving, I am under the club’s wing and the aim now is get a few starts and score a few goals - simple as that.”

Wright-Phillips made his return to first-team action in last night’s 3-1 win over Aston Villa.

The youngster has been suffering from a knee injury, which has restricted him to just three substitute appearances so far this term.
