Dirk Kuyt signs new contract with Feyenoord

Former Kop favourite Dirk Kuyt has agreed a new 1-year contract with Feyenoord.

The 35-year-old forward will remain with the Eredivisie outfit for the 2016-17 season after inking the new deal.

Kuyt was rewarded for helping Feyenoord finish 3rd last term thanks to his contribution of 19 goals in 32 league games. He was also a key player in their KNVB Cup success.

Commenting on the deal, Kuyt said: “I’m glad that I am staying at this great club for one more year.

“The squad put together a very good season which ended with the cup triumph. If you’ve won a trophy you want more and we should go into next season with this feeling.

“I am excited and confident.”

Feyenoord technical director Martin van Geel added: “We believe that Dirk will play a very big role next season on and off the pitch. It is also an important sign that he, as a leader, has confidence in Feyenoord.”
