Overview
- Mainz confirmed on Friday that it has extended Paul Nebel's contract but did not disclose the length of the new deal.
- Nebel said he is highly motivated to repay the club's trust with his performances and to give everything for the team and fans.
- Sporting director Niko Bungert praised Nebel as a model academy graduate who developed into an important first-team player.
- The 24-year-old right winger missed the start of the season after a summer adductor injury and is reported to be working his way back toward his previous level.
- Nebel has spent more than ten years in Mainz's system with only a two-year loan to Karlsruher SC, has 78 Bundesliga and ten Conference League appearances, and the extension keeps a key homegrown attacker in the squad rather than allowing a possible summer departure.
