Munich
- Bayern Munich captain Mark van Bommel has extended his contract with
the German champions by a further season, the club confirmed Thursday.

"We have reached an agreement with Mark to extend his contract by a year," Bayern general managher Uli Hoeness said.

Van Bommel's current contract was due to run out at the end of the
season but the 31-year-old midfielder will now stay with Juergen
Klinsmann's side until the end of the 2010 season.

Bayern have also reportedly reached agreement with defender Martin
Demichelis to extend his contract until the end of the 2012 season.
