U.S. international Fabian Johnson has extended his contract with Borussia Monchengladbach by two years to 2020.
Johnson, who is nearing a comeback after nine matches out with a thigh injury, has 10 goals and set up 12 more in 69 Bundesliga games for Gladbach since joining from league rivals Hoffenheim in 2014.
"It's an amazing feeling to continue being part of this fantastic club," Johnson said in a statement. "After moving here from Hoffenheim three years ago, my aim was to continue my own development and to play in Europe: I've since managed both.
"From that point of view, I'm very pleased to be able to continue my journey with Borussia."
