Yannick Gerhardt has signed a contract extension with VfL Wolfsburg, committing himself to the club until the summer of 2025.

"I see my sporting future in Wolfsburg and have therefore decided to continue wearing the VfL jersey," said the midfielder, who would have been out of contract this summer.

"I feel very much at home here and would like to play my part in ensuring that VfL is permanently represented in international competition," he continued.

The 26-year-old has made a total of 128 appearances in a Wolfsburg shirt with nine goals and 14 assists to his name.

He joined 'Die Wölfe' from FC Köln in 2016.
