Rieß extends his contract

Lasse Rieß has extended his contract until 2025. The 20-year-old goalkeeper has spent ten years in the Mainz youth academy and is the third choice keeper in the first team. He is a regular starter in the Regionalliga Südwest for the U23s.

Sporting director Martin Schmidt said: “Lasse has made great strides since arriving at the club. He is currently the first choice keeper for the U23s and is having a strong season. He has worked his way up into the first team and has been on the bench a few times this season. We are delighted to continue our journey together and we hope we can further his great talent so he can fulfil his potential here.”
