Overview

  • O’Reilly has signed a contract running to summer 2030, with several reports noting a club option to extend it by a further year.
  • The City academy graduate, who joined at eight, has transitioned from attacking midfielder to left-back and is now a regular starter.
  • He has made 27 senior appearances with five goals and two assists since his 2024 Community Shield debut.
  • O’Reilly called the new deal a day he will never forget and said this is just the beginning as he targets a bigger role and England recognition.
