Butt’s contract extension at Bayern confirmed

It is now certain that Bayern will keep expert goalkeeper Joerg Butt on their side until June 2011. Known for taking penalty kicks, the 35-year-old player was taken by Bayern from Benfica in 2008. Initially expected to act as a back-up to Michael Rensing, Butt managed to become a part of the team last March. Meanwhile, Thomas Muller, Holger Badstuber and Daniel Van Buyten have also closed contract extension deals at Bayern.
