Bayer 04 Leverkusen have extended youngster Montrell Culbreath's contract once again – this time on a long-term basis.
Having only signed a deal with the Bundesliga club until 30 June 2030 in January, he has penned a new contract valid until 30 June 2031.
The former U-19 player, as attacking midfielder, earned the contract after he established himself in the first-team squad last season.
Culbreath joined the Werkself academy in 2023 and made 16 first-team appearances in all competitions last campaign, scoring one goal.
"The renewed extension of the contract is a clear sign of our satisfaction with Montrell," said Bayer managing director Simon Rolfes.
