Raul Bobadilla and Augsburg have agreed on contract extension ahead of schedule, the Bundesliga club confirmed in an official statement on Saturday.

The 29-year-old striker, whose running contract was stipulated until June 2018, penned a two-year contract extension, which keeps him with the "Fuggerstaedter" until June 2020.

"Raul is a player who can make the difference and who increases the quality within our squad," Augsburg's sport director Stefan Reuter told the club's official homepage.

Bobadilla joined Augsburg from Swiss outfit FC Basel in the summer 2013 to provide 18 goals and nine assists in 82 competitive appearances.

"I am happy about the confidence that I feel at Augsburg," the Paraguayan international said. "I feel incredibly comfortable and I would like to see many more victories and successes with this team," Bobadilla added.

Augsburg sit currently on the 13th place of the standings. They will encounter Wolfsburg at the 18th round of Bundesliga on Saturday. Endit
