Signs extension with Leverkusen

Culbreath signed a one-year contract extension with Bayer Leverkusen, extending his stay at the club through 2031, the club announced.

Analysis: Culbreath has made 16 appearances across all competitions for the first team, scoring one goal on his debut in the 3-1 victory at Leipzig in the 15th matchday of the Bundesliga. The 18-year-old winger joined Leverkusen from the Kaiserslautern under-17 side in the summer of 2023 and has shown encouraging progression that the club has chosen to reward with both the contract extension and a salary increase. Leverkusen, who finished sixth in the Bundesliga last season, view the young American as a player with significant potential and the extension reflects their confidence in his continued development at the club heading into the new campaign.
