Overview
- Darmstadt 98 has extended Fabian Nürnberger’s expiring contract but did not disclose the length of the new deal.
- The club had formally farewelled Nürnberger before its last home game, yet negotiations continued and led to this reversal.
- Sporting director Paul Fernie called Nürnberger both a key on-field performer and a member of the team council whose presence matters for squad cohesion.
- Darmstadt also exercised the purchase option for Grayson Dettoni, who had been on loan from FC Bayern München II and made two appearances in the second half of the season.
- Nürnberger has been at Darmstadt since 2023 with 74 competitive appearances and made his Bulgarian national team debut in 2024, moves the club says should help stabilize the squad for next season.
