Manchester, England – Manchester City signed captain Vincent Kompany to a new six-year deal Thursday.

Kompany, 26, joined City in 2008 from German club Hamburg and has appeared in 126 Premier League matches. He led City to its first English Premier League title in 44 years last season. The new deal locks him up until 2018.

"Man City as a project," Kompany said, "is not just a project of the owners or the people employed by the club, it is also my project. I have been here since the beginning and I have seen everything at the club change inside and out.

"I have the feeling that I have contributed to it too. It is good to know that I can be at City for another six years. It is a compliment that the club feels so highly of me."

Capped 47 times for Belgium, Kompany started his career for Anderlecht and was with the club from 2003-06. He joined Hamburg in 2006 and remained at the club through 2008, when the central defender joined City.
