Schönfelder stays at SSV Jahn: contract extended until 2026!
SSV Jahn Regensburg is setting an exciting example: the dazzling offensive playerOscar Schönfelderextends his contract until June 30, 2026. This was announced by those responsible for the club today. For the 24-year-old, who suffered a serious knee injury in the second division home game against Preußen Münster at the end of September, this is an important step towards coming back stronger from this challenging phase. Despite the health setbacks, Schönfelder made a significant contribution to the success of the 2023/24 third division season and has enjoyed increasing popularity since then.
A strong trustshows Managing Director SportsAchim Beierlorzer, which makes clear the intention to provide Schönfelder with the best possible support and to bring him back forward with an excellent team. In the coming weeks and months, Schönfelder wants to do everything he can to help his team and fulfill the club's positive expectations. “I am grateful for the trust and will do everything I can to repay my services,” assured the player.
Legal framework in professional football
But what conditions do such contract extensions entail in professional football? This is where case law comes in: Like this Federal Labor Court recently decided that footballers generally have to play a minimum number of games per season in order to secure a contract extension. These deployment numbers are often contractually anchored, which means that tooCorona-related restrictions, such as fewer games, are irrelevant to this regulation.
Such deployment-dependent extension clauses are common in employment contracts with professional footballers. For players, this often means that they should look carefully before signing a contract in order to avoid disadvantageous clauses. While ordinary termination is clearly regulated, the employee situation and the protection of professionals remain essential.
The deliberate extension of Schönfelder's contract shows that SSV Jahn believes in the future despite the current challenges and is setting the right course. The fans can look forward to the next games, in which Schönfelder will hopefully be back on the pitch soon and actively contribute to the club's success.
