Monchengladbach extends Herrmann's contract to 2016

Borussia Monchengladbach extended the contract with Patrick Herrmann for another year, the club said on its official homepage.

"I have been here for almost five years and I still feel very comfortable here. I have learned a lot and improved myself. Together with the team I achieved a lot and I would like to continue this progress," the 22-year-old Herrmann told Monchengladbach's official homepage Saturday.

The Under-21 German international scored 16 goals in 92 appearances to prove himself as a key player of the "Foals".

"By now Patrick is a key player of our team therefore we are pleased with his contract extension," Monchengladbach sports director Max Eberl said.
