Promise David has officially extended his contract with Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise, committing to stay until the summer of 2029 in a move that ends speculation about a possible transfer during the current window.
The 23-year-old Canadian-Nigerian international has emerged as one of the standout performers in the Belgian Pro League and has now decided to continue his development with Union, despite interest from several European clubs.
His new deal comes after successful negotiations over the past week and represents a major boost for Union Saint-Gilloise ahead of the 2025–26 season.
Initially signed through 2027 with an optional extension, David’s new agreement adds two additional years, effectively ruling out any immediate switch to clubs such as Lille, Paris FC, or Leeds United, all of whom had reportedly expressed serious interest in acquiring his services this summer.
David’s breakthrough season with Union has captured attention across Europe. In 41 appearances during the 2024–25 campaign, the striker found the net 24 times and recorded five assists, a contribution that played a pivotal role in Union’s domestic success and qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League.
The club, in an official statement, celebrated the extension by declaring, “Union Saint-Gilloise and David will now face the Goliaths of the Champions League together.”
It reflects the high regard in which the player is held within the squad and by the fanbase.
Promise David’s rise has been swift. After impressing at youth and club level, he earned his first senior cap for the Canadian national team earlier this year—and made an immediate impact by scoring in his debut against Ukraine.
His inclusion in the national setup is seen as a natural progression for a player whose combination of pace, finishing, and positional awareness has set him apart in the Belgian top flight.
At just 23, David now finds himself not only as a key player for his club but also as an increasingly important figure for Canada’s national team as it builds toward future international tournaments.
His extension with Union is seen as both a statement of loyalty and a strategic move to continue his growth in a stable environment that has nurtured his talents.
Union Saint-Gilloise, who have been steadily climbing the ranks in Belgian football, now look forward to consolidating their place in both domestic and continental competitions with David as a cornerstone of their attacking line.
His retention is also a sign of the club’s ambitions, as they look to compete on the European stage while maintaining the core of a young, talented squad.
While speculation around his future had intensified in recent weeks, particularly amid growing interest from Ligue 1 and the English Championship, David’s decision to remain in Belgium confirms his focus on continuity and long-term progression rather than a quick move abroad.
With his future now settled, both club and player can turn their attention to the challenges ahead. Union Saint-Gilloise are poised to begin pre-season preparations with renewed optimism, and Promise David will once again be central to their plans—as both a leading scorer and a symbol of the club’s upward trajectory.
