July 10 (Reuters) - Manchester City have signed Northern Ireland goalkeeper Pierce Charles from Sheffield Wednesday on a contract until 2031, the Premier League club said on Friday.
The 20-year-old, who returns to City after previously spending time in the club's academy before joining Sheffield Wednesday, will spend the 2026-27 season on loan at Championship side Queens Park Rangers.
"To be back at Manchester City is a very special and proud moment both for me and my family," Charles said in a statement.
"I know first hand what a special club City is and I am so excited about looking to the future."
Charles made his senior debut for Northern Ireland in 2024 and has since won 12 caps for his country.
