Denmark-born Ghanaian midfielder Nikolas Nartey has expressed his excitement after extending his VfB Stuttgart deal.
The 21-year-old has signed a new deal until 2025.
Nartey switched from 1. FC Köln to the club from Cannstatt in August 2019 and was subsequently loaned to Hansa Rostock and then to SV Sandhausen.
“I am very happy about the contract extension. It shows me and is a nice feeling that the club trusts me. It’s really good, especially after my injury and during the rehabilitation phase,” he said.
I am very grateful for that. We drew up a great plan for me together with those responsible at VfB. The path with the loan to Rostock and Sandhausen worked very well for me.
This allowed me to develop step by step and gain a lot of experience over the past two years. It was amazing that I was able to make my debut for VfB Stuttgart this season.
“My goal is to come back as soon as possible, to repay the trust with good performances, and to help the team. Unfortunately, I can no longer support the team on the pitch at the season finale,” he added.
The Danish U21 international has finally arrived at VfB this season and has made eight brief appearances so far.
Nartey has resumed training with his teammates this week but he is expected to miss the rest of the season due to the injury.
