19 years after he joined Brondby IF for the first time, Patrick Mortensen is back in the yellow and blue colors.
Mortensen, who joins Brondby on a free transfer from AGF's Danish championship-winning team, played his first minutes in the Superliga wearing a Brondby shirt. Now Mortensen's career has come full circle for one of the most lethal strikers in the Danish Superliga.
Patrick Mortensen has signed a two-year agreement with the club and will, from the upcoming season, step into a role where, not least, his influence on the club's young players will be central.
"Patrick comes in as a perfect complement to the group of strikers we already have. On the field, with his physique, his experience, and his presence in the field, he has some qualities that we need. But it is not least as a leader and role model that he must make a difference", says football director Julius Ohnesorge.
Those words are backed up by the main character himself.
"The plan that Julius and the rest of the team have laid out really appeals to me. Being able to come back and contribute a lot of experience, hopefully play a lot of minutes, and be able to help the young boys", says Patrick Mortensen.
It is first and foremost the past seven years as a key player and captain for AGF that have cemented Patrick Mortensen's name as one of the Superliga's biggest profiles. With 115 goals, he is the sixth-highest scoring player in the history of the Superliga.
