John Stones to Leave Manchester City After Nearly a Decade and 19 Trophies

Posted : 28 April 2026

England defender John Stones is set to leave Manchester City at the end of the season, closing a remarkable chapter in his career after nearly a decade at the club. The 30-year-old departs as one of the most decorated players in City’s history, having won 19 major trophies since arriving from Everton in 2016.

Stones joined City for £47.5 million and went on to make 293 appearances, playing a key role in the club’s dominant era under Pep Guardiola. During his time at the Etihad, he helped secure six Premier League titles, the Champions League, two FA Cups, five League Cups, three Community Shields, the Club World Cup, and the UEFA Super Cup.

In an emotional message shared on social media, Stones reflected on his journey, describing Manchester City as his home and expressing deep gratitude for the experiences he has had. He said he arrived as a young player and leaves as a more mature individual, both personally and professionally.

He also highlighted how his time at the club shaped his life off the pitch, including becoming a father and husband, while fulfilling his ambitions as a footballer. Stones said he had achieved everything he dreamed of when he first joined the club and was proud of the legacy he leaves behind.

Signed as Pep Guardiola’s second acquisition at City, Stones became one of the world’s most expensive defenders at the time. He credited Guardiola as a major influence on his success, praising their strong relationship and the role the manager played in his development.

Stones added that his achievements at Manchester City would not have been possible without Guardiola’s guidance, expressing appreciation for the trust and support he received throughout his time at the club.
