The England international has penned a fresh deal at the Club which will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until the summer of 2030.
Having joined our youth system at the age of eight, he’s been with the Blues for over a decade despite being just 20 years old.
After making his senior debut in a 4-0 Premier League win over Bournemouth in 2022, he has since totalled 96 appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side in all competition and won a staggering six major trophies.
And Lewis says he’s proud to commit his future to City.

“There’s nothing else going on in my head apart from happiness,” he declared.
“It’s a proud moment for myself, my family and all this stuff. The main thought is now cracking on and getting ready with the season.
“It’s a really good moment for me but I just want to keep on enjoying my football and get the season started.”
Since debuting against the Cherries over three years ago, Lewis has developed exceptionally while playing in a variety of positions for the Blues.
This has seen Guardiola deploy him across the backline and into midfield in all competitions where he’s flourished.
And the 20-year-old has credited his fine progressing to the culture the Catalan and his colleagues have built at the Club.
He added: “I think [I’ve developed] in both sides of being a player and a person,” he explained.
“Being around these kind of people in the dressing room, around the manager on the pitch as well. It’s made me a better player and person and I’m just excited to see where I can go in the future as well.
