JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jacksonville Armada FC announced on Wednesday that forward Derek Gebhard has been signed to a contract extension. Per club policy, terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

The 20 -year-old striker has played eight matches, 147 minutes and had one start so far this season. Gebhard has made his presence known coming in at key moments and making a difference off the bench. On Sept. 11, against Rayo OKC, he was subbed in for Alhassane Keita in the 85th minute, made a strong run down the line in the box and was taken down to force a penalty kick helping earn the Armada a last minute goal. He also earned an assist on the lone goal in the Armada's milestone victory over Minnesota United FC on Oct. 1.

Before joining Armada on July 30, 2015, Gebhard played with NPSL side Jacksonville United FC (now Armada FC U-23), Jacksonville FC (now Armada FC Youth Academy) and played a season with Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, Fla., where he logged 605 minutes in 16 appearances with one start for the Eagles.

The Armada FC have also mutually agreed to part ways with forward Alexander Andersson.

Andersson, a 30-year-old striker, signed with the Armada in June of 2016 but only made four appearances playing 335 minutes in total.

Before his short tender with the Armada, he played six seasons with Swedish second division side Degerfors IF, where he scored 22 goals in 100 matches, including 34 starts. Andersson also saw action in seven Swedish Cup matches.
