Manchester City boss Mark Hughes was happy to see Nedum Onuoha sign his new five-year deal.
"Nedum is a very important part of my future plans for the team, and I am very pleased he has decided to extend his contract with us. Despite his tender years he has already matured into a very good defender who has made a significant impact on the first team," he told City's website.
"Nedum has huge potential for the future and is another shining example of the kind of quality our academy can produce for Manchester City football club."
