Career[edit]
Vejle BK[edit]
Damgaard joined Vejle Boldklub in January 2015 at the age of 14 from AC Horsens and was immediately promoted to the U17 squad.[1]
He got his first team debut on 11 September 2018 in a Danish Cup game against BK Frem. Damgaard started on the bench, before replacing Sean Murray in the 80th minute in a game which Vejle won after penalties. In December 2019, he also got his debut in the Danish Superliga.
Ahead of the 2019-20 season, Damgaard was permanently promoted to the first team squad and signed a 1-year full-time professional contract after a good season with the U19s, scoring 12 goals which made him the top scorer of the team.[1] On 22 July 2019, Damgaard signed a new three-year contract with Vejle and was loaned out to Finnish club Helsinki IFK, a club owned by the same owner of Vejle.[2] On 22 January 2020, Damgaard was loaned out again, this time to Danish 2nd Division club Middelfart G&BK.[3]
At the end of the loan deal with Middelfart, it was confirmed by Vejle on 28 July 2020, that Damgaard would play the rest of 2020 at VSK Aarhus in the Danish 2nd Division, before he would leave Vejle at the end of the year, where his contract expired.[4]
Personal life[edit]
Damgaard's grandad, Anders Damgaard, was also a footballer and played 110 division games for Horsens fS in the 1950s.[1] His mother, Gitte Damgaard, is a former handball player who played for Horsens HK.[1]
