Sarpsborg have received a major boost with confirmation that one of their most influential players, Aimar Sher, has committed his future to the club by signing a new long-term contract. The Iraqi midfielder has agreed a deal that will keep him at Sarpsborg until 2028, underlining his importance to the team’s plans in the coming years.
Sher arrived at the Norwegian side last year after parting ways with Italian outfit Spezia by mutual consent. At that point in his career, he was seeking a fresh start and an opportunity to rebuild his confidence. Sarpsborg moved quickly to offer him a place in their squad, giving him the platform to demonstrate his quality.
From Rebuilding to Becoming Indispensable
Initially, Sher required time to adapt and regain his rhythm, but as his confidence grew, his influence on the pitch increased. His performances soon earned him greater trust from the coaching staff, and he became a regular feature in the starting line-up. That progress has transformed him into one of Sarpsborg’s key figures, making his retention a priority for the club amid growing interest from elsewhere.
The midfielder, too, was keen to remain in an environment where he feels valued and supported. Having found stability, regular playing time and the confidence of his manager, he was eager to extend his stay. When Sarpsborg presented him with the opportunity to sign a new deal, there was little hesitation.
Sher’s Commitment to Sarpsborg
Speaking to the club’s website, Sher explained, “I feel like I’m home. Sarpsborg has become like a home for me. I feel extremely comfortable in the team, in the city and with everyone who works around the club. I came here when I was at a low point in my career. Sarpsborg gave me the opportunity and I am extremely grateful for that. I want to continue on this journey and give something back to Sarpsborg.”
His words reflect the strong bond he has developed with the club and the sense of loyalty he feels towards those who supported him during a difficult stage in his career.
With Sher now tied down to a long-term deal, Sarpsborg can move forward with renewed confidence, knowing that one of their most reliable performers has committed to being part of their future.
