Soccer - Contract extended: Bicakcic stays in Braunschweig
The Bosnian national player Ermin Bicakcic has extended his expiring contract with the second-tier football club Eintracht Braunschweig by one year plus an option. The club announced this on Saturday.
The 34-year-old played for Braunschweig from 2012 to 2014 and returned there in October last year after nine years with Bundesliga side TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. In the past few months, Bicakcic helped Eintracht mount a successful comeback in the second-tier relegation battle and also made his way back into the Bosnian national team.
"I have always emphasized that the fire still burns in me and I don't see an end in sight yet," said the defender. "Eintracht, with these exceptional fans, holds a special place for me. That's why I want to take on responsibility again next year."
