Reigning South Korean pro football champions Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors said Wednesday they have signed their veteran striker Lee Dong-gook to a one-year contract extension.
Jeonbuk, the 2017 K League Classic champions, said Lee will play with them until the end of the 2018 season after signing a one-year contract extension. The club, however, didn't disclose financial details of the deal. Lee's current contract was due to expire next month.
Lee will have his 10th season with Jeonbuk. The 38-year-old won five league titles, as well as one Asian Football Confederation Champions League title, with Jeonbuk. During his stint with the Jeonju-based club, Lee was also named K League MVP four times.
