Cristian Makate extends his contract until 2029 and joins the first team
Our Equatoguinean striker, who was the top scorer for the U23s last season, will join the first team squad. Makaté has extended his contract for 4 more seasons.
Having scored 20 goals in 28 D1ACFF appearances, the 22-year-old striker is making the leap to the first team. After a more than convincing season with our U23s, the Equatoguinean international feels ready to take on the challenge of the Jupiler Pro League. This season, he was even featured in the 24-25 D1ACFF XI of the Year.
Makate joined the club during the summer of 2022 and has already played one game for the first team. He was subbed on in 60th minute in our cup tie against Eupen on the 30th of October 2024. Union came back victorious (0-3) from the Kehrwegstadion that day.
Congratulations Cristian, and see you soon on the Marien pitch!
