Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — Filipino international footballer Jerry Lucena signed a one-year contract extension with Danish club Esbjerg fB (EfB) according to a press release posted on the club’s official website on Wednesday (July 8 PHT).
The deal keeps Lucena in Esbjerg’s books until June 30, 2016 as a player-assistant coach.
“I am very glad that EfB has given me the opportunity to join in Esbjerg with a slightly alternative contract,” said Lucena.
“I am aware that it will not become as much playing time, but my role is more to preserve the culture of the squad and help young people, so they know how it is to be a EfB player.”
Lucena first made his debut for EfB in 1999 and has recorded over 200 appearances for the club since then.
