Ruschel signed a new contract with Shapekoense. The agreement is calculated until 2020, reports BBC.
Defender Alan Ruschel was one of the three surviving players of Chapecoense in a plane crash in November 2016, along with Jackson Fulman and defenseman Marcos Danilo.
The plane crash happened in Colombia, when the Brazilian club was flying to the final of Copa Sudamericana.
28-year-old Ruchel returned to the field nine months later against a catastrophe in a friendly match against Barcelona in August 2017.
Sports director Shapekoense Rui Costa said that this is "not charity," noting that Rushhel faced "the greatest challenge in his life and proved that he is able to continue to protect the colors of the club".
