Jacob gets contract extension at his Chinese club

CHIPOLOPOLO forward Jacob Mulenga has been handed a one-year contract extension by his Chinese club Shijiazhuang Yongchang.
Mulenga is in his final phase of an initial two-year contract following his move to China from Europe in 2015.

The Zambia striker said in an interview from China that he was humbled to be handed an extra year to his contract in a league that is fast attracting high-profile players from Europe.

“The club has given me an extension to my contract which adds another year. The chairman, the coach and everyone is very happy with my work and how I conduct myself with the team,” Mulenga said.

Mulenga’s first season saw him score 13 goals to help Shijiazhuang finish 7th following their promotion last year.

“After last year’s performance, they rewarded me with an additional year. I thank God for this. It’s not easy to get into a booming market, staying and performing is even harder,” Mulenga said.

Mulenga has yet to open his account for the 2016 season with just two assists for Shijiazhuang, who are currently 12th in the 16-team league with 4 points from as many games played.
