Midfielder Joey Barton has signed a new four-year contract at Manchester City. The 23-year-old's future had been in some doubt after he stunned City with a transfer request last season. But he has since rebuilt his relationship with the club, and manager Stuart Pearce has succeeded in retaining the rising star.

Barton told City's website, www.mcfc.co.uk: "It is great that everything has been sorted out. I am grateful for the support and faith the manager and the chairman have shown me by offering me this contract. The support I have received from City fans has also been a great boost."
