Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery has signed a new one-year contract with the Bundesliga champions, that will keep him at Allianz Arena until June 30, 2018.

Former France international joined the Bavarians from Marseille in 2007 and has since gone on to make 333 appearances and scoring 108 goals for the German outfit.

The 33-year-old’s contract was set to expire at the end of this season, but the Bundesliga giants released a statement confirming that the winger had opted to stay for one more year.

“Six German championship titles, five cup triumphs, the Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup, the UEFA Supercup – Bayern’s biggest triumphs in the last few years are closely linked with Franck Ribery,” said club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

“He’s both a key player and a crowd-pleaser, so we’re happy we’ve extended the contract with Franck by another year.”

Ribery has appeared 11 times in all competitions this season, scoring two goals and provided eight assists.
