James McAtee is the latest guest on the Official Man City Podcast!

Another of our special homegrown talents, McAtee is enjoying his first season as a regular member of Pep Guardiola's world-class squad.

The 22-year-old has already spent more than a decade at the Club, joining our youth ranks from Under-11s onwards.

Touted early on as a player that could make an impression at the top of the game, McAtee has worked hard to earn the trust of Pep Guardiola.

And in recent weeks and months the Salford-born attacking midfielder has made giant leaps, influencing games and scoring goals whether starting or coming on from the bench.

His hat-trick against Salford City earlier this month is already a highlight in what McAtee hopes will be a long time at the Club, while he's also notched his first Champions League and Premier League strikes for City this term.

In this chat with George Kelsey and Nedum Onuoha, McAtee details his journey so far and the sporting heritage in his family.

He also recounts how two very different campaigns on loan at Sheffield United - the first a Championship promotion and the second a Premier League relegation - have steeled him for the rollercoaster ride of a career in professional football.
