Overview
- Energie Cottbus confirmed that 26-year-old Henry Rorig has extended his contract until summer 2027 and will stay with the club for its upcoming 2. Bundesliga campaign.
- Rorig joined Cottbus from VfL Osnabrück in summer 2024 and has since made 72 competitive appearances with 18 goal contributions, establishing himself as a regular on the right flank.
- Coach Pele Wollitz praised Rorig’s impact on the team’s play and characterized him as a powerful engine on the wing, while sporting director Maniyel Nergiz highlighted his tempo, dynamism and leadership.
- The club said Rorig turned down earlier offers and attracted inquiries from other second-division teams, with Holstein Kiel reported among those to have asked about him.
- Internal selection could still shift because Simon Straudi has frequently displaced Rorig late in the season and is reportedly close to a move to Dynamo Dresden, which would alter competition for the right-back spot.
