TSG Hoffenheim has extended the contract of 23-year-old central defender Valentin Lässig, the club confirmed this afternoon.

“Valentin has consistently delivered strong performances in the 3rd division this season, thus recommending himself for higher-level challenges.

"He takes on responsibility, captains Hoffenheim II, and has already been part of our Bundesliga squad several times this season. 

"We are very pleased that we will continue on this path together,” said Andreas Schicker, Sporting Director of TSG Hoffenheim.
