Manchester City youngster Adam Clayton has signed a two-year contract.

Clayton has spoken of his delight at putting pen-to-paper: "From playing with your mates at school to training with Robinho cannot get any better. It's a dream come true, and especially for a City fan like me.

"It's such a great experience playing against and training with these kinds of players.

"Someone like Didi Hamann is great to learn from in my position, he's been in World Cup & Champions League finals and you cannot beat that kind of experience.

He added: "I've gone from being a kid to making a career for myself, now I have to produce the goods. Now there are three points on a weekend at stake, so you have to get out there and do it. If you put the hard work in, you will get rewarded and that's what happened for me."
