About the player
Born in Copenhagen, he came through FC Copenhagen's youth system and picked up caps for Denmark at U17, U19 and U20 level, but never broke into the first team — his only senior involvement there was a single appearance in the Danish Cup. In February 2019 he left for Sweden, joining Trelleborgs FF, and it was there that his club career actually began in earnest.
The move that shaped his career came in May 2021, when his contract at Trelleborg ran out and he signed for Tromsø IL on a free transfer. FC Utrecht signed him in January 2024 for a fee reported at around €600,000.
