HITC Sport understands City youngster has signed pro deal.
Manchester City defender Ryan Corrigan has signed his first professional contract with the club, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
Corrigan has been rewarded with the pro deal by City after turning 17 earlier this week.
The teenager is highly-regarded within the corridors of power at the Etihad Stadium and the club have high hopes for Corrigan in the future.
Corrigan began his career at Everton and came through the youth ranks at Goodison Park before being lured away by City in the summer of 2015.
The Republic of Ireland youth international has impressed during his two years at City and has been a regular in the club’s Under-18s side this season.
The talented central defender has made four appearances in Under-18 Premier League so far this season and has chipped in with one goal.
City are keen to secure their best youngsters on professional contracts as they look to try and fast-track as many young homegrown players into the first-team squad in the near future.
A number of youngsters are already training with Pep Guardiola’s star-studded first-team on a regular basis and Corrigan will be hoping to catch the eye of the Spaniard with his performances for the Under-18s.
