English Premier League giants Manchester City have rewarded Divine Tayon Mahogany Mukasa with a new deal, keeping him at the Etihad Stadium until 2030.
Mukasa now 18-years has Ugandan roots and joined Man City in 2023. He has since shone for the club’s Under-18s and Elite Development Squad.
He made his senior City debut in September 2025 and has now totalled six appearances for our first team.
Mukasa was on loan at Leicester City during the second half of the last season, grabbing two goals and three assists in 15 Championship appearances.
Upon signing his new deal, Mukasa said
“I am really excited to see what the future has in store for me. I have learnt so much since the day I arrived at the Club from players and staff alike. The experiences I have gained have definitely bettered me as a player and a person. With this said, I can only use the environment to continue to progress. My taste of first team football at City earlier last season has only furthered my ambition to compete at the highest level.” He stated as quoted by City website
Director of Football Hugo Viana said,
“In Divine, I feel we have someone with huge potential. It’s really good news that he has decided to extend his stay with us.
Since he came to City in 2023, he has consistently improved and developed. He works hard, shows humility and is eager to learn. That is a great combination for any young footballer. He has shown really positive development throughout his loan at Leicester, and we are excited to see him develop further over the coming seasons.“I am really pleased for Divine he deserves this.”
Born to a Lithuanian mother and an Ugandan father in England, Mukasa is eligible to represent the Lithuania, Uganda, and England national teams.
