"It's been a great honor throughout my career to be at Maccabi, so I'm excited to continue with the club that has become my family," Cohen told Maccabi's official website. "I am grateful for the amazing gift of love that the fans, the team, the owners and my teammates gave me this past year to make all of this possible. When you have a special group of people around you, you can do special things. Let's go, Maccabi!"
Cohen's renewal follows a trend at Maccabi, as the club has made an effort to keep together the core of last season's team. In the last few months, key players such as Lorenzo Brown, Wade Baldwin and Bonzie Colson have all penned new deals to remain in Tel Aviv, while the announcement of a new contract for Cohen, who in his third spell at Maccabi, comes one day after John DiBartolomeo signed a new deal to 2025.
