Werder goalkeeper Sebastian Mielitz has prematurely extended by one year his contract with Werder Bremen. The deal was due to expire on 30 June 2012 but will now run out after the 2013 season. "I am really happy that I can continue my way with Werder. The premature contract extension is a great recognition of my performance with Werder. I have the best possibility here to continue to develop and am looking forward to the coming tasks," said the 21-year-old after the conclusion of the talks.

Werder board chairman Klaus Allofs was also satisfied after the contract extension with his young keeper. "It's nice that Sebastian prematurely extended his contract with us. He did a great job last year. We believe in his development," said Allofs. Head coach Thomas Schaaf added: "We are happy that Miele would like to continue his way with us. He has shown that he developed and we want to continue to push him on a daily basis."

'Miele' has played with Werder's U23s since 2007 and trained regularly with the professionals in the past season. Due to injuries and a suspension to top keeper Tim Wiese, Mielitz was very successful in six Bundesliga matches, two Champions League appearances and one German Cup contest. The young keeper played a total of 684 minutes during the 2010-11 season.

Mielitz transferred to Werder Bremen in 2005 from Energie Cottbus and pushed his way through the B and A junior Green-Whites. In 2007, he was North German champion with the U19 team and he played at the 2009 U20 World Cup with Germany in Egypt. Mielitz already won titles as a schoolboy in both Cottbus and Bremen.
