German-born Ghanaian winger Phillip Aboagye has pledged his immediate future to FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt after putting pen to paper on a fresh two-year contract extension, the club has officially confirmed.
The Dortmund-raised wide attacker, who previously developed at VfL Bochum, has been rewarded alongside teammate Marco Wolf following their influential roles in the club’s recent campaign. While Wolf has extended his stay by an additional year through to 2027, Aboagye’s new agreement will keep him at the club until the summer of 2028.
In a statement announcing the renewals, the club emphasized stability and long-term planning as key motives behind the decision:
“Rot-Weiß Erfurt continues to prioritize continuity, securing the services of two key attacking players, Phillip Aboagye and Marco Wolf. While Marco Wolf has extended his contract by another year until summer 2027 , Phillip Aboagye will remain with Rot-Weiß Erfurt until summer 2028.”
“Since their transfer in the summer of 2024, Aboagye and Wolf have quickly integrated into the team and provided important impetus to the attacking play. While Marco Wolf has consistently been one of the key players in the current Regionalliga Nordost season, Phillip Aboagye recently suffered a setback due to injury.”
“The versatile attacking player made a total of 28 appearances for Rot-Weiß Erfurt in the 2024/25 season, contributing six goals and four assists. In the current season, the winger made six appearances before a serious knee injury – a torn cruciate ligament, meniscus, and medial collateral ligament – sidelined him.”
Aboagye’s progress has, however, been temporarily halted by a severe knee injury involving multiple ligament damage, ruling him out for an extended spell. Despite this setback, the club has shown unwavering confidence in his long-term value.

Head coach Fabian Gerber underlined the importance of both players and the message their renewals send:
“Marco’s performances this season have been extremely important for us, giving our game a lot of structure and a real goal threat. Phillip already showed what he’s capable of last season. That’s why we’re so pleased that both of them are continuing their journey with us.”
“The contract extensions send a strong signal because they show that the lads believe in the path we’re taking here. It was especially important for us to show faith in Abo during his injury.”
The winger is currently undergoing rehabilitation and is targeting a return to action by June 30, 2026.
Though born in Germany, Aboagye remains eligible to represent Ghana at international level, leaving the door open for a potential future with the Black Stars.
