Duvnjak will stay until 2027: THW Kiel secures its captain!
A significant step for THW Kiel: Captain Domagoj Duvnjak will remain loyal to the traditional club until June 30, 2027. This decision was announced after the impressive 28:25 home win over HC Erlangen. Duvnjak, who wore the shirt number “2027”, clearly shows how serious he is about his promising future at THW.
Since moving from HSV Hamburg in 2014, the 37-year-old Croatian has not only proven his abilities but also his loyalty to THW. In these eleven years he has already played an impressive 558 games and scored 1,612 goals. That speaks for itself!
A role model for the team
Duvnjak is not only an experienced player, but also a real leader. Managing director Viktor Szilagyi described the captain as the “boss of the young team”. Duvnjak himself emphasizes how much he benefits from the support of his teammate Filip, who makes sure he doesn't go beyond his limits. This entrepreneurial approach will certainly have a positive impact on the team's dynamics.
However, his commitment goes beyond his own sport. Duvnjak has set himself the goal of training his successor Julian Köster. He will take on this challenge next season and pass on his knowledge and experience to the younger talents. His heart not only beats for handball, but also for the fans and the entire team. “I love THW Kiel,” says Duvnjak.
Reasons for extending the contract
But what motivated Duvnjak to take this step? The family plays a crucial role here. They feel comfortable in Kiel and now consider the city to be their second home. “The decision to play another year was also influenced by my family,” explains the captain, who also emphasizes that he is fit and motivated to continue playing handball.
The contract extension is a win not only for Duvnjak, but also for THW Kiel. With his experience and commitment, he helps the team achieve its goals. He has led the club to numerous successes in the past, including four championships and the Champions League triumph. You have to say: a good deal for everyone involved.
In summary, the renewed collaboration with a player of Duvnjak's caliber is without a doubt a positive development for THW Kiel and a great joy for the fans, who can continue to rely on his achievements in the coming years. The future looks bright for the record champions!
