RB Leipzig have re-signed Norway goalkeeper Orjan Nyland on a contract through 2028, the Bundesliga ‌club announced on Tuesday.

The 35-year-old returns to Leipzig, where he played on loan in the 2022-23 season, as a free agent following the ⁠expiration of his contract with Sevilla at the end of June.

Nyland became a national hero during Norway’s historic run to the World Cup quarter-finals, saving a penalty from Brazil’s Bruno Guimaraes in a dramatic 2-1 last-16 victory last ‌month.

“When ⁠the opportunity arose to return to RB Leipzig, I didn’t have to think twice. I have many positive memories of ⁠the club and the people here, and I’m really looking forward to seeing them ⁠again,” Nyland said.

Nyland has also played for Molde, FC Ingelstadt, Aston Villa ⁠and Reading. He has made 76 appearances for Norway.
