Freiburg (dpa) – Bundesliga soccer club SC Freiburg has extended the contract of Austrian national player Philipp Lienhart. The 26-year-old is “a solid pillar in our team. It fits both athletically and personally,” said sports director Klemens Hartenbach in a statement from Baden on Thursday. “Due to his high quality and intelligence, he can fill any position in our different defensive formations.” As usual, the club did not announce how long the new contract would run.
Lienhart has been playing for SC since 2017. This season he played 39 compulsory games for Freiburg. “I’m very proud of the development I’ve made as a player, but also by all of us as a team,” said the defender, who has qualified for the Europa League for the second consecutive year with his team-mates. “This story is not over yet.”
