Football-Bundesliga - SC Freiburg extends Rosenfelder's contract
Freiburg's sports director Klemens Hartenbach has extended the contract of defender Max Rosenfelder. The 21-year-old homegrown talent was promoted from the second team to the professionals last summer but could not play a single game in the Bundesliga due to a Patellar syndrome.
"Max really had a difficult year," said Freiburg's sports director. Rosenfelder's "great athletic abilities, combined with his ability to suffer," will make Freiburg "look to the future with great confidence." He enjoys "every single training session with the team," Rosenfelder himself explained. The club made no statements regarding the duration of the new contract.
