Exeter City forward Yanic Wildschut will stay at the club until the summer of 2025 after triggering an extension in his contract.

The 32-year-old Suriname international joined the club in September 2023 and has made 35 appearances.

He initially joined on a short-term deal in September as a free agent before extending his stay until this summer in January.

The former Norwich City, Middlesbrough and Wigan Athletic winger, who has scored twice for City this season, has played top-flight football in the Netherlands, Bulgaria and Israel during his career.

"I've really enjoyed my time here, especially the second half of this season where we have been doing really well, and I can't wait to continue this next season," he told the club's website.

"My family really enjoy it here and it's a nice place to be. Football is the most important thing but the family like it so that's a plus."
