Rapid Wien midfielders Stefan Kulovits and Georg Harding have signed one-year contract extensions with the Austrian Bundesliga leaders.

"Both are important squad players who we can always rely on," said Rapid sporting director Alfred Hörtnagel. The 24-year old Kulovits has made 104 top-flight appearances for the club, winning the 2005 league title. Harding, 24, has featured nine times this term following his summer move from DSV Leoben.
