Manchester City’s American goalkeeper Zack Steffen has signed a contract extension tying him to the club until the summer of 2025.

The 26-year-old from Downingtown joined City from Columbus Crew in 2019 and spent a year on loan in Germany at Fortuna Dusseldorf before being part of the squad that won the Premier League and League Cup last season.

“This is a fantastic moment me — I am so happy to be committing my future to Manchester City,” said Steffen, who played every match for City in the League Cup and FA Cup last season. “I want to keep pushing (first-choice goalkeeper) Ederson every single day and take my chances when they arrive.”

Steffen has played 24 games for the U.S. national team, and helped the Americans win the CONCACAF Nations League in June. He is a contender to be in net for this month’s World Cup qualifiers, at home against Mexico on Nov. 12 and at Jamaica on Nov. 16.
