Borussia Mönchengladbach has announced that Joe Scally has extended his contract at the club until 2027.
The U.S. national team defender’s previous deal was set to expire in 2026.
Scally has entrenched himself as Gladbach’s first-choice right back during the current season, starting 24 of the club’s 28 Bundesliga matches thus far.
“The most important thing for me is to be playing regularly. Borussia give me the chance to do that and help my development as a player,” Scally told the club’s website. “The club presented me with a clear plan regarding my future during our conversations. I’m pleased to be staying at Borussia.”
Scally joined Gladbach from NYCFC in January 2021 and became a regular with the club last season, making 20 league starts.
The 20-year-old made his U.S. national team debut in November 2021 and was named to the World Cup roster last year, though he did not see the field in Qatar.
“Joe has developed really well with us. He quickly made the transition from being a talented youngster in our U-23s to a regular for the first team, and even made the U.S. World Cup squad. This is a great example of the journey we want our promising youngsters signed from other clubs to take,” said sporting director Roland Virkus.
“This contract extension acknowledges his development, which we want to continue supporting in the future.”
Despite his new contract, Scally could still be sold this summer, with Bild reporting that Gladbach would be open to a sale if the price is right. Last month, MLSsoccer.com reported that Fulham was among several English clubs looking into a summer move for Scally.
