Mads Agger (born 21 December 1999) is a Danish footballer who currently plays for Sønderjyske in the Danish Superliga.
Club career
[edit]Born in the Central Jutland city of Holstebro, Agger played amateur football for Lemvig GF in the eighth tier of Danish football.[1] He received his first professional contract in 2020, signing for Skive IK[1] who were competing in the Danish 1st Division at the time.[2] Both he and the club struggled in his debut season, as they were relegated to the 2nd Division.[3] He managed three goals after 27 appearances during the season. He found himself with far less activity in the second season, appearing only twice without any goals.[2]
Despite limited time during the 2021–22 season, Agger was signed by Næstved BK of the 1st Division.[4] He would spend only one season at Næstved Stadium, scoring nine goals over 33 appearances.[2] His performances caught the attention of fellow 1st Division club Sønderjyske, who signed him on 19 June 2023 on a three year contract.[5] His first season with the club would prove to be successful, as Sønderjyske won the 1st Division title to gain promotion to the Danish Superliga.[6] During their promotion campaign, Agger provided nine goals and five assists over 32 appearances in both the league and the Danish Cup.[1]
On 11 August 2024, Agger made his first appearance in the top flight of Danish football, coming on the 39th minute as a substitute as Sønderjyske fell 0–2 to Copenhagen at Sydbank Park.[7] Just one week later on 18 August, he gave Sønderjyske a 2–1 victory at Randers FC where he scored both goals for the club.[8][9] His debut season in the top league finished with eight goals from 26 matches played as Sønderjyske finished 9th in the league table.[2][10]
Personal life
[edit]Mads is the younger brother of professional footballer Mikkel Agger,[1] who spent much of his career with Thisted before retiring in 2024. Their father, Søren Agger, also spent time in professional football for Herning Fremad.[11]
