Emil Siersbæk Bergholt (born 25 August 1997) is a Danish handball player for Skjern Håndbold and the Danish national team.[1][2] He is the captain at his club, Skjern Håndbold.[3]
Bergholt comes from a handball family with deep ties to Skjern Håndbold. His father Henrik Bergholt was also playing for the same club, reaching 354 matches for the club.[4] His brother Viktor Bergholt is also a handball player at Skjern Håndbold.[4]
Career
[edit]Bergholt played as a junior for Skjern Håndbold, where he also started his senior career in 2014.[5] With Skjern he won the Danish Cup twice. In 2017 he left for the second tier club TM Tønder, where he ended up staying for two seasons.[5] He shifted to Mors-Thy Håndbold in 2019,[6] and won the Danish Cup again in 2020. Since 2021 he's back in Skjern Håndbold.[7]
In March 2025 it was announced that from the 2026-27 season he will play for German SG Flensburg-Handewitt.[8] Flensburg-Handewitt activited a 135.000 euro release clause to sign him.[9]
National team
[edit]He made his debut for the Danish national team on 9 March 2023 against Germany, scoring one goal.[1] He was however injured less than a month later, which ended his season.[3]
His first major international tournament was the 2025 World Men's Handball Championship, where Denmark won the tournament. Being a surprising callup from Skjern Håndbold he started the tournament as a backup, but would become a regular starter as the tournament progressed.[10]
