John Brooks has agreed to a new contract with Hertha Berlin and will stay at the club for the foreseeable future. The Bundesliga side and its CEO tweeted out the news, with the contract set to be signed in the coming days to make it official.
Brooks' existing contract was set to expire in 2017 and Hertha had made securing his long-term future a priority. The two sides have been working on a new contract for months, but a new deal wasn't always sure to happen. There was an impasse in December and Hertha talked about selling him if he didn't sign a new contract so they wouldn't have to risk losing him for free or on the cheap.
