Defender Jean-Pascal Mignot has extended his contract with AJ Auxerre until 2009.
First-team chance
The left-back turned professional in 2001/02, captaining Auxerre's reserve side. He broke into the first team at the end of last year when Jean-Sébastien Jaurès sustained a hamstring injury which has left him sidelined until next month.
Birthday fixture
With Mignot in the team, Auxerre have recorded a five-game winning streak since the end of December and have climbed to fourth in Ligue 1. They meet Panathinaikos FC in the third round of the UEFA Cup, with the first leg at home on 26 February - the day of Mignot's 23rd birthday.
