NEC secures Lebreton with contract extension through 2030

The 22-year-old midfielder extended his deal through mid-2030, having arrived from Caen last summer and become a key player under Schreuder.

NEC has extended Noé Lebreton's contract through mid-2030, rewarding the midfielder's rapid development since joining from Caen in summer 2025. The 22-year-old Frenchman initially featured as a substitute under Dick Schreuder but has become an integral part of the squad, with nine goals and seven assists in 44 appearances. He has also established himself in the France U21 setup.

Director Carlos Aalbers praised Lebreton's progression both on and off the pitch, highlighting his athleticism, work ethic, and emerging leadership qualities. "He combines athletic ability with enormous work ethic," Aalbers said. "We see him increasingly asserting himself within the group. That leadership is developing naturally from his personality and the steps he's taking as a player. With this contract extension, we're rewarding his development and expressing our confidence in him."
