1. FC Union Berlin have confirmed that goalkeeper Carl Klaus has signed a contract extension.
The 32-year-old has recently stepped up in the absence of injured first-choice keeper Frederik Rønnow, featuring in three consecutive matches and underlining his value to the squad.
“From the very beginning, Carl has impressed with discipline, determination, and team spirit, and has gradually developed into an important part of the team," said Union's director of men's professional football, Horst Heldt.
"That we were able to confidently place our actual number three in goal is by no means a given and speaks to his quality. We are looking forward to going into the final match of the season and into the new season with him.”
Klaus, who joined Union from 1. FC Nürnberg on a free transfer in 2024, said:
“For me personally, achieving something historic here and fulfilling a lifelong dream means a lot. I am grateful to the club, the coaching team, and everyone responsible for their trust.
"Since my first day, I have felt incredibly comfortable at Union. Now I look forward to giving something back to the team and the fans. I will invest everything every day and give my best."
