German international Sophia Kleinherne is already the sixth member of the women’s first-team squad to extend her deal with Eintracht Frankfurt, signing a new contract that will keep her at the club until 30 June 2024.
Despite her tender age, the 21-year-old has already made over 80 appearances in the FLYERALARM Women’s Bundesliga, all of them either for Eintracht or 1. FFC Frankfurt, as it was in its previous incarnation. This season, the two-time Fritz Walter Medal-winner (bronze in 2017, silver in 2018), has been on the pitch for over 90 minutes in every Bundesliga match. She also has 12 German caps to her name already.
