Emyr Huws has extended his stay with Manchester City until 2016.
The Welsh midfielder, who impressed on a loan spell at Birmingham City last season, is regarded as an important player for the future by Manuel Pellegrini who utilised the 20-year-old frequently on City's pre-season tour of the US.
Head of City EDS, Patrick Vieira said: “I’m really pleased that Emyr is going to continue his development as a player under a manager who knows City so well. Uwe knows perfectly how the club works and how we like to play.
“Emyr is a great talent of this club which he proved on loan at Birmingham City last year – he showed that he can play at Championship level but this time it will be a different challenge.
“Whereas last year, he was fighting against relegation with Birmingham, this time he’s going to a club expecting to win and aiming to win promotion, so I’m really pleased he’s both agreed to stay on at City until 2016 and that he’s taken this opportunity Wigan have offered him.”
Huws has joined Wigan Athletic on loan until January 2015.
