Manchester City defender John Stones will leave the club at the end of the ongoing season, the Premier League side announced on Tuesday.

He joined Man City in 2016 and was Pep Guardiola’s second signing, going on to make 293 appearances, recording 19 goals and nine assists in that time.

“They say all good things must come to an end… but this thing we have had has been the greatest, and it will remain a part of me forever,” the 31-year-old said in a post on social media.

Stones has won 19 major trophies with Man City, including six Premier Leagues and its maiden UEFA Champions League title. His most recent triumph came last month when the Man City beat Arsenal in the League Cup final.
