Finnish Veikkausliiga club Gnistan has announced the renewal of its contract with 38-year-old football player Roman Eremenko. Eremenko played a significant role in the team last season, cementing his status as one of the club's most important players. His contributions were recognized earlier this year when he was named the Player of the Year for the southern region by the Finnish Football Association. This contract extension marks Eremenko's third season with Gnistan, highlighting the club's commitment to keeping a player with such a distinguished career close.

Eremenko expressed excitement about continuing his career with Gnistan, stating that the decision felt natural and good. The club's management echoed these sentiments, with Sport Director Jarkko Jokiranta praising Eremenko as one of the greatest Finnish footballers of all time. He emphasized the significance of retaining such a skilled player for another season, which will allow fans to enjoy watching him play in the Veikkausliiga while donning the Gnistan colors once more.

The upcoming season is also noteworthy as it will reunite Eremenko with his brother, Sergei Eremenko, who transferred to Gnistan last November. This familial connection adds an exciting narrative for the club and its supporters as two talented brothers showcase their skills together on the field, further strengthening Gnistan's competitive edge in the league.
