Aleksandar Kolarov will stay at Manchester City until 2018

Manchester City left-back Aleksandar Kolarov has signed a two-year contract extension until 2018.

The Serbia international, 28, joined City from Lazio for £16m in 2010 and had a year left on his previous deal.

Kolarov was regularly preferred to Gael Clichy by manager Manuel Pellegrini last season, making 30 appearances as City won the Premier League title.

"I am very happy and very proud of this new contract," Kolarov told the club's website.

"I will give to this club probably the best stages of my football career. I am very happy that I continue with this club which feels now like my home."
