Dirk Kuyt has signed a new one-year deal at Feyenoord, with the former Liverpool forward to remain at the Dutch outfit until the end of the 2016-17 season.Kuyt put pen to paper on a new 12-month contract, ending speculation over his future after an impressive season in the Eredivisie, in which the 35-year-old scored 19 goals in 32 league games. The former Holland international rejoined the Rotterdam club last year after spells with Liverpool and Fenerbahce and showed his predatory instincts as Feyenoord finished third in the Eredivisie.
Kuyt helped his side claim the KNVB Cup, and the 2004-05 Eredivisie golden boot winner is delighted to have extended his stay at De Kuip.He told the club's official website: 'I'm glad that I am staying at this great club for one more year. The squad put together a very good season which ended with the cup triumph. If you've won a trophy you want more and we should go into next season with this feeling. I am excited and confident.'
Feyenoord technical director Martin van Geel added: 'We believe that Dirk will play a very big role next season on and off the pitch. It is also an important sign that he, as a leader, has confidence in Feyenoord.'
Kuyt attempted 721 passes in the final third last season in the Dutch top flight - more than any other player - and manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst will hope the forward's experience will help the younger generation improve upon this season's third-placed finish.
