The 35-year-old, who was born in Australia and represents the Netherlands internationally, joined Glamorgan in 2016 and currently holds a contract extending through the 2027 season.
"Glamorgan took a little bit of a punt on me and I'm obviously very grateful for being at the club for 10 years," van der Gugten told Wales.
"When I first came over I'd only played a handful of first class games.
To play 100 games for them is a real honour - I'm really proud about it to be honest.
My life is over here now – I've got a young family and wife - and I love Glamorgan and I love Cardiff.
Hopefully there's a few more games left to go."

"I'd be keen to keep playing for as long as I can, I don't really envisage going anywhere else," he said.

I'm happy with how I'm bowling and enjoying my role with the team.
We've got a nice mix of youth and older players and it's a very enjoyable changing room to be in at the moment."
