Hamburger SV have announced that they have reached an agreement to extend the contract of Ashton Götz until June 2017.

The 21-year old right-back has started three Bundesliga games this season for the team that lies 14th in the league table.

Sporting Director, Peter Knäbel told the clubs website: “Ashton has shown during his performance in the Bundesliga, but also in the U23 and in training, that he has great potential.”
