Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has signed a new contract which will keep him at Etihad Stadium until 2019.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old, who joined City from Shrewsbury in 2006, said: “I’m really happy, I’ve been here a long time now and I want to keep that going.<\/p>\n
“The club’s doing amazing things at the moment, we’ve created history and we want to keep doing that.”<\/p>\n
The England international has won two Premier League titles and two domestic cups during eight years with the club.<\/p>\n
City’s 2012 title win ended a 44-year wait since their last league crown in 1968, while they also won the FA Cup in 2011 and League Cup in 2014.<\/p>\n
Hart said: “It was never a doubt for me. It was always whether the club wanted me. I love this place.”<\/p>\n
The new contract underlines Hart’s status as City’s preferred goalkeeper, despite the arrival of Willy Caballero from Malaga in the summer.<\/p>\n
Hart’s place was temporarily under threat from the Argentine at the start of the season, but he returned in top form to feature in all but four games this term.<\/p>\n
City team-mates Sergio Aguero, Samir Nasri, Vincent Kompany and David Silva all put pen to paper on new five-year deals during the summer.<\/p>\n
Hart added: “A lot of the boys have signed long-term deals, so we’re building as a squad. We’re enjoying building that winning mentality.”<\/p>\n
