Stranzl extends Gladbach contract by one year

The 34-year-old's deal was set to expire at the end of the season, but he has penned fresh terms with the Bundesliga club until June 2016.

Stranzl has proved a popular player at Borussia-Park since joining from Spartak Moscow in January 2011 and has made 130 appearances for Gladbach.

"When the club approached me and asked me if I would sign for another year for me there was not much to think about," Stranzl told the club's official website.
