Official: Real Sociedad extend Elustondo's contract until 2026
2023-03-06 12:57On the eve of the 2022/23 UEFA Europa League 1/8 finals, Real Sociedad renewed the contract with Spanish central defender Aritz Elustondo, who will turn 29 this month, until 2026.
"A model local player, full of courage in every action to defend the color in his heart," Real Sociedad gave Elustondo high praise and affirmation through a statement.
"This season, he has crossed the 200th appearance with our badge on his chest and is well on his way to becoming one of Real Sociedad's legends."
Aritz Elustondo wears the No. 6 jersey and mainly serves as a central defender on the field. He came from the Real Sociedad youth training, and his career debut took place in the Copa del Rey on December 17, 2014, in the Royal Society's 2-0 victory over Real Oviedo. In the next 8 years, Elustondo played a total of 223 times, scored 12 goals and sent 7 assists for Real Sociedad.
Elustondo's contract with Real Sociedad was originally scheduled to expire in 2024, but the board of directors decided to renew the contract two years in advance to show support for the injured. Currently, Aritz Elustondo's recovery from an ankle injury is progressing well.
"I hope to repay the trust of the club"
Elustondo is very satisfied with the trust from the parent club. "I'm very happy. Besides, I'm so grateful to be valued in this way in the time I'm living in now. I'm still on the way to realize my dream and I'm very happy," he told state media.
The player later vowed that he would be committed to giving back to Real Sociedad: "I have been in the first team for many years, I made my debut when I was 20 years old, and now I am about to turn 29. I am happy with my importance to the team. I hope to repay the trust of the club."
“We are living in a great moment and you never know if we will continue to be great. We must now enjoy and continue what we have achieved in recent years,”concluded Elustondo.
