Cuellar extends Sporting stay

Sporting Gijon have confirmed they have taken up the option to extend goalkeeper Ivan Cuellar’s contract.

The 32-year-old has been a Rojiblancos player since 2008, when he signed from the club from Atletico Madrid.

The new deal means the shot-stopper’s contract has been prolonged by an additional year, meaning he will remain at El Molinon until the end of the 2018-19 season.
