John Stones has taken to Instagram to underline his delight after putting pen to paper on a new five-year contract at Manchester City. The England defender had entered the final 12 months of his current deal at The Etihad. Kalvin Phillips and Fabian Delph have reacted to Stones’ Instagram post.

Joe Hart and Ross Barkley also commented.
