Frankfurt's Alexander Meier
extended his contract with Eintracht Frankfurt to 2018, the club said
Thursday.
The 33-year-old Meier's current deal was due to expire in 2017 but
the extension settles the future of the veteran, who has already been
offered an as yet undefined position with Eintracht when his playing
career ends.
"I have found my footballing home in Frankfurt. The city, the people,
the fans in the stadium - everything just fits and I'm pleased the
club has continued to show faith in me."
Meier has scored 131 goals in 353 competitive games for Eintracht
since moving from SV Hamburg in 2004. In 2015 he was the Bundesliga
top scorer with 19 goals but endured an injury-hit campaign last
season in which Frankfurt needed a play-off to avoid relegation.
"Alex Meier has given enormous service to Eintracht and has an
extremely important role here and with the fans," sport director
Bruno Huebner said. "It is something special when a player is with
one club for so long and is still so successful."
