Rot-Weiß Oberhausen has announced that captain Nico Klaß has extended his contract by three years. This was officially announced on Christmas Eve. The 27-year-old central defender, who came to Oberhausen from TV Jahn Hiesfeld in 2018, has played 40 competitive games at the association before moving to Eintracht Braunschweig in 2020.

In the current season, he now plays a central role as captain and was there in 15 of the 17 games from the start. Sports director Dennis Lichtenwimmer-Conversano emphasizes the importance of class for the club.
