Mads Stokkelien will return for the New York Cosmos in 2015. Hans Denissen, on the other hand, will not.

The Cosmos announced a contract extension with Stokkelien for the 2015 season.

“I’m excited to return to the Cosmos,” Stokkelien said in a statement. “The club has made some strong additions in the offseason and I’m looking forward to getting back to work and meeting some of the new players.”

The extension sees New York retain their top goalscorer of 2014. The 24-year-old Norwegian striker managed eight goals and four assists through 28 appearances and 24 starts. His greatest performance, however, came in the U.S. Open Cup where he scored a magnificent brace to oust crosstown rival New York Red Bulls from the tournament.

“Last season was Mads’ first season in the U.S. so he had to adapt to a new league,” said Cosmos head coach Giovanni Savarese. “However, he showed continued improvement throughout the season and was a key part of our attack, so we’re delighted to have him back.”

While Stokkelien earns a just reward for his standout season, Denissen leaves after a frustrating campaign. The Dutch striker, 30, shocked several NASL fans with his move to the Cosmos early last year. However, he joined the club injured and never managed to break the roster on a consistent basis once healthy.

Denissen managed all of 12 league appearances in 2014, tallying three assists; a sharp downturn from 2013, which saw the striker score 12 goals for the Scorpions.
