VfB has given Luca Mack an early contract extension keeping him at the club through to 30 June 2022. The 19-year-old defender has come through the VfB youth academy and was captain of the U-19 team that won the DFB Cup and made it to the final of the German championship last season. This term, he has been part of the first-team squads for the matches against F.C. Hansa Rostock and FC St. Pauli.
VfB head of sport Thomas Hitzlsperger: "Luca’s development over the past few years has been very positive. He identifies with VfB and with the path that we’re choosing to go down with him and that many more young players will follow in the years to come."
Luca Mack: "I feel absolutely at home with VfB. Extending my contract is an extra source of motivation for me to make it into the first-team squad and I’m certainly going to work hard to achieve that."
