"If she continues on this path, we're going to have a lot of fun with her."
Since her debut in the 1-1 draw at Bremen last October, Daedelow has made five competitive appearances for the first team. She previously rose through the U13, U15 and U17 teams after joining the club in 2019. In 2023, she won the German championship with the U17s.
"I've been able to develop in my first year as a professional despite the added strain of work and school, and I feel very at home here," said Daedelow. "That's why I'm looking forward to becoming better in all areas over the next two years with full focus on football. I want to earn more playing time in order to be able to help the team more in matches and get my first goal involvements."
