N.E.C. Nijmegen recently received big news from their goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen. The 37-year-old keeper announced via Instagram that he will not extend his contract with the club. Cillessen had hoped for a contract extension of at least two years, but talks with the club management did not lead to an agreement. In his Instagram post, he thanked the club, the supporters, and everyone involved for their support throughout the past season. Cillessen reflects on a great year, despite having different expectations. He also refers to N.E.C. Nijmegen's success in qualifying for the Champions League preliminary round after a strong third-place finish in the league. Last season, Cillessen served as a stand-in for Gonzalo Crettaz and played in the Eurojackpot KNVB Cup, where N.E.C. Nijmegen lost the final to AZ. Cillessen, who began his career at N.E.C. Nijmegen, has played a total of 65 international matches for the Dutch national team. Now that he is a free agent, he can consider the next step in his career.
