Jeffrey Gouweleeuw Injury: Inks contract extension

Gouweleeuw signed a contract extension with FC Augsburg until 2027, the club announced. "Jeff has been with FC Augsburg for over ten years. Throughout all these years, he has always shown responsibility and has been a role model for his teammates. We are delighted that Jeff is joining FCA for his twelfth season. We have already discussed a possible role within the club and we will discuss his future career transition in more concrete terms in the coming months," said Michael Stroll, CEO of FC Augsburg.

Gouweleeuw has extended his contract with Augsburg by one year, keeping him at the club until June 2027. The 34-year-old Dutch defender is currently working his way back from a medial ligament injury. Since joining Augsburg from AZ Alkmaar in January 2016, he has made 278 appearances across all competitions, including 263 Bundesliga matches and 15 DFB-Pokal games, scoring seven goals. He now sits just 12 Bundesliga appearances away from becoming the club's all-time record holder in the competition.
