Prior To Derby: St. Pauli prolongs with captain Irvine

The Kiezkicker did not offer any kind of information about the term, the previous contract had a term till 2024.

The fact that Jackson currently leads the team as a captain after just one period underscores its importance for us, claimed instructor Time Schultz: With his will to win, he stands for the timeless St. Pauli virtues as well as stands for the club on and also off Location in an outstanding method. It is a terrific signal to understand it in our team in the coming years.
