Dortmund reward Owomoyela and Langerak

Patrick Owomoyela and reserve goalkeeper Mitch Langerak have signed new contracts at Borussia Dortmund, as they prepare for UEFA Champions League action next season.

German champions Borussia Dortmund have signed extended contracts with left-sided defender and midfielder Patrick Owomoyela, and reserve goalkeeper Mitch Langerak.

Owomoyela, 32, has played for Dortmund since 2008, scoring three times in 76 Bundesliga games, and is now committed to the club until June 2013. "We believe that Patrick, with his diligence and footballing ability, will be an important member of this squad once he recovers from his calf injury," said Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc.

The player added: "I'm very happy that Dortmund have put their faith in me despite having picked up this injury at an unfortunate time. I'm looking forward to starting my fifth season with Dortmund."

Australian goalkeeper Langerak, meanwhile, has committed to the club for another four seasons, with the 2010 signing from Melbourne Victory having made two Bundesliga appearances this season. The 23-year-old came on for Roman Weidenfeller 34 minutes into the German Cup final, helping Dortmund to secure their first domestic double.
