Andersson extens contract with THW Kiel

On Friday, 05 December 2008, THW Kiel announced the decision by Kim Andersson to extend his current contract by three years, meaning that the captain of the Swedish national team will be on the weaving his magic on Kiel’s backcourt until 2013! Uwe Schwenker, Manager of THW Kiel, is paving the way for continuing future successes and is thrilled by Andersson’s decision. Following in the footsteps of fellow teammate Markus Alm, who extended his contract until 2011; Kim Andersson has extended his existing contract with Kiel extremely ahead of schedule.

On his decision for declining the offer from Ciudad Real…” The Club and the team are simply great and on a sporting level that is a very hard act to follow!” The fans in Kiel also weighed in heavily in his decision. Having been honoured with the accolade of Handball Player of the Year in Sweden, Andersson is loath to end his time with the club that has brought him immense success. The 26-year old has an impressive trophy count with 3 German Championship titles, 2 DHB Cups and an EHF Champions League title to boot!
